Transients Manager
20,000+ active installs · Rated 5.0/5 · Updated October 18, 2024
Transients Manager adds a Tools screen to view, search, edit and delete WordPress transients. A toolbar button can pause transient writes while you test or debug. Suits developers and support staff who clear caches or check stored data. Limit: it is a developer tool, so changing or deleting transients can break features that depend on them, and it shows cross-promotion notices for other WPBeginner plugins.
Pros
- View, search, edit and delete transients from Tools
- Bulk delete of expired or persistent transients
- Toolbar button to pause transient writes
Cons
- A developer tool; deleting transients can break features
- Shows cross-promotion notices for other plugins
- Offers to install other plugins from the admin
