A Fresher Cache for WordPress

A Fresher Cache adds an admin bar menu that gives easy access to functions that refresh (i.e, regenerate or invalidate)

cached items. Out of the box, the plugin provides easy access to refresh items that WordPress Core caches; however, the true

power of the plugin is its API that allows developers to easily add items to the menu that initiate custom functions that

refresh cached items.

For instance, imagine that you wrote a function called “my_update_all_term_caches” that loops through all of the terms

in your WordPress install and updates the cache for each item. You can add this function to the “Freshen” admin bar

menu with the following API call:

function my_update_all_term_caches_menu_item() { $args = array( 'id' => 'my-update-all-term-caches', 'title' => 'Update Term Cache', 'function' => 'my_update_all_term_caches' );

afc_add_item( $args ); } add_action( 'init', 'my_update_all_term_caches_menu_item' );

This code will generate a menu item labelled “Update Term Cache” that creates a link that will run the function defined

in the “function” key of the $args array (in this case, my_update_all_term_caches()).

The primary purpose of this plugin is to provide an easy tool for developers to refresh cached items when developing new

features. Additionally, it can serve as a convenient tool for users to be able to update cached items when needed.
