A Fresher Cache

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. Note that this is not merely a wrapper for the admin bar API. Rather, it allows you to add items to the admin bar and provides all of the necessary coding that will link a callback function to a menu item. You can think of it as an extension of the admin bar that adds a very specific functionality. The plugin also uses the admin bar as intended and only adds a few extra arguments that support the functionality of this plugin. A more complete tutorial that describes the full functionality of the plugin can be read at tollmanz.com.

Admin Bar Menu Packer

Some of themes or plugins add menu items to the toolbar (admin bar). These additional items may be useful, but sometimes you feel annoyed as the toolbar fills up with various items. Admin Bar Menu Packer gathers these items on the toolbar into one hamburger menu. The message “Howdy, username” next to the Avatar is also removed, but most WordPress built-in items remain as they are. Debug Mode If WP_DEBUG is enabled, this plugin will run in debug mode. In debug mode, you can see: [Node ID popup] Each item in the hamburger menu has title attribute contains node ID [Debug menu] Additional item (‘All Nodes’) which contains node IDs of all items on the toolbar Translations This plugin is currently available in English and Japanese (日本語).

Which is faster to set up, A Fresher Cache or Admin Bar Menu Packer?

Both apps are one-click installs from the WordPress Plugin Directory. AppRanks doesn't measure setup time directly, and the WordPress Plugin Directory publishes no review base that would let us infer it for these two — read the recent reviews on each app's detail page for user-reported install experience.

Which works better for small vs large WordPress Plugin Directory site owners?

A Fresher Cache typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1 reviews). Admin Bar Menu Packer typically suits early-stage and growth-mode teams based on its published review base (1 reviews).
