Redis Object Cache for WordPress
================================

[](#redis-object-cache-for-wordpress)

A persistent object cache backend powered by Redis. Supports [Predis](https://github.com/nrk/predis/), [PhpRedis (PECL)](https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis), [HHVM](https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/tree/master/hphp/system/php/redis), replication, clustering and [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/).

Forked from Eric Mann's and Erick Hitter's [Redis Object Cache](https://github.com/ericmann/Redis-Object-Cache).

And forked again from Till Krüss's [Redis Cache](https://github.com/tillkruss/redis-cache).

We wanted to have only the `object-cache.php` dropin file and nothing else.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require devgeniem/wp-redis-object-cache-dropin

```

Connection Parameters
---------------------

[](#connection-parameters)

By default the object cache drop-in will connect to Redis over TCP at `127.0.0.1:6379` and select database `0`.

To adjust the connection parameters, define any of the following constants in your `wp-config.php` file.

- `WP_REDIS_CLIENT` (default: *not set*)

    Specifies the client used to communicate with Redis. Supports `hhvm`, `pecl` and `predis`.
- `WP_REDIS_SCHEME` (default: `tcp`)

    Specifies the protocol used to communicate with an instance of Redis. Internally the client uses the connection class associated to the specified connection scheme. Supports `tcp` (TCP/IP), `unix` (UNIX domain sockets), `tls` (transport layer security) or `http` (HTTP protocol through Webdis).
- `WP_REDIS_HOST` (default: `127.0.0.1`)

    IP or hostname of the target server. This is ignored when connecting to Redis using UNIX domain sockets.
- `WP_REDIS_PORT` (default: `6379`)

    TCP/IP port of the target server. This is ignored when connecting to Redis using UNIX domain sockets.
- `WP_REDIS_PATH` (default: *not set*)

    Path of the UNIX domain socket file used when connecting to Redis using UNIX domain sockets.
- `WP_REDIS_DATABASE` (default: `0`)

    Accepts a numeric value that is used to automatically select a logical database with the `SELECT` command.
- `WP_REDIS_PASSWORD` (default: *not set*)

    Accepts a value used to authenticate with a Redis server protected by password with the `AUTH` command.

Configuration Parameters
------------------------

[](#configuration-parameters)

To adjust the configuration, define any of the following constants in your `wp-config.php` file.

- `WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT` (default: not set)

    Set the prefix for all cache keys. Useful in setups where multiple installs share a common `wp-config.php` or `$table_prefix`, to guarantee uniqueness of cache keys.
- `WP_REDIS_MAXTTL` (default: *not set*)

    Set maximum time-to-live (in seconds) for cache keys with an expiration time of `0`.
- `WP_REDIS_GLOBAL_GROUPS` (default: `['blog-details', 'blog-id-cache', 'blog-lookup', 'global-posts', 'networks', 'rss', 'sites', 'site-details', 'site-lookup', 'site-options', 'site-transient', 'users', 'useremail', 'userlogins', 'usermeta', 'user_meta', 'userslugs']`)

    Set the list of network-wide cache groups that should not be prefixed with the blog-id *(Multisite only)*.
- `WP_REDIS_IGNORED_GROUPS` (default: `['counts', 'plugins']`)

    Set the cache groups that should not be cached in Redis.

Replication &amp; Clustering
----------------------------

[](#replication--clustering)

To use Replication and Clustering, make sure your server is running PHP7, your setup is using Predis to connect to Redis and you consulted the [Predis documentation](https://github.com/nrk/predis).

For replication use the `WP_REDIS_SERVERS` constant and for clustering the `WP_REDIS_CLUSTER` constant. You can use a named array or an URI string to specify the parameters.

For authentication use the `WP_REDIS_PASSWORD` constant.

### Master-Slave Replication

[](#master-slave-replication)

```
define( 'WP_REDIS_SERVERS', [
    'tcp://127.0.0.1:6379?database=15&alias=master',
    'tcp://127.0.0.2:6379?database=15&alias=slave-01',
] );
```

### Clustering via Client-side Sharding

[](#clustering-via-client-side-sharding)

```
define( 'WP_REDIS_CLUSTER', [
    'tcp://127.0.0.1:6379?database=15&alias=node-01',
    'tcp://127.0.0.2:6379?database=15&alias=node-02',
] );
```

A memcached HTML page cache for WordPress.

16447.7k3](/packages/humanmade-batcache)[voceconnect/wp-large-options

You may wish to store a larger option value than is recommended on WordPress.com. If your option data will exceed 400K, or is of an unpredictable size (such as an HTML fragment etc.) you should use the wp\_large\_options plugin to store the option in a cache-safe manner. Failure to do this could result in the option not being cached, and instead fetched repeatedly from the DB, which could cause performance problems.
