Makes caching the results of a WP_Query, WP_User_Query and WP_Meta_Query, via the transients API easy. Realize increased performance, by caching the results of your queries, with one simple function.
All saved queries are automatically reset when any post is updated.
Basic usage:
<ul>
<li>Specify arguments for the query ($args)</li>
<li>Give the query a name ($name)</li>
<li>$query = jpd2_better_query( $args, $name );</li>
<li>Use $query like you would any other WP_Query object.</li>
<li>See FAQ for other usages</li>
</ul>

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.
