Have you ever worked with transients and found yourself switching back and forth between your database and your code to make changes? Not anymore!
With Force Transient Refresh, you can clear all transients by adding a query string parameter to whatever URL you are trying to load.
Not for use in production. Should be used when you are developing locally and don’t want to load up your database to clear out transients.

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.
