Flush Transients

This plugin allows you to flush WordPress transients, plain and simple.

Just like many other plugins offer a feature to flush the WordPress object cache, this plugin allows to flush transients.

Many WordPress sites do not have access to an object cache in their hosting environment, and for those sites transients are the only mechanism for caching data which WordPress natively supports. Being able to clear transients can be crucial for certain use-cases, particularly on sites that do not use an object cache.

This plugin adds a small admin bar menu item where users with the required capabilities can flush transients for the site. For sites not using an object cache, where transients are stored in the database, the menu item also provides information on the amount of transients stored.

Both regular transients and network transients are supported. When using WordPress Multisite, network transients can be flushed in the Network Admin UI.

Installation and usage

You can download the latest version from the WordPress plugin repository.

Alternatively, if you use Composer to manage your WordPress site, you can also install the plugin from Packagist:
