Transients Manager

I've had a number of times when one of my sites was getting bogged down because of transient issues. Transients Manager helped me investigate, identify the problem so I could fix it, and clear out the mess.

Saved the day more than once

Every time I code something involving transients, this plugin is an indispensable tool. Thank you.

Such a wonderful tool when working with transients!

I needed to catch a floating bug on my site. It became clear that this was somehow related to transient options.The first to turn up this plugin. And I was not wrong. Plugin solves its narrow task and does it excellently. If you need to do anything with transient options in WordPress - this plugin is what you need.
Thank you so much for your work!

Very convenient and intuitive tool!

I find this plugin very useful when testing to search and delete specific transients

Useful tool when testing


This is invaluable for developing plugins with WP transients.



It's an easy-to-use plugin that does one thing well.



It works in WP 6.1.1, although it contains some code deprecated in PHP8.2.


Works with WP 6.1.1

Excellent!

Provides a familiar interface to view, search, edit, and delete Transients.

<p>Delete old, expired transients from the WordPress options table (<code>wp_options</code>), to prevent them from bloating your database and even slowing down your website.</p>
<p>Unless you are using an object cache (like memcached), WordPress stores transient records in the options table. Many transients are given an expiration time, so in theory they should disappear after some time. In practise, because old transients are only deleted when requested again after they’ve expired, many transients stay in the database. After a while, there can be thousands or even millions of expired transients needlessly taking up space in your options table, depending on what your plugins are doing.</p>
<p>Delete Expired Transients schedules a daily task to delete any expired transients from the options table. It performs this operation with a single SQL query, and then runs a second query to find any orphaned expiration records and deletes them too.</p>
<p>There are a few other plugins around that clean up expired transients. This one is written for fast performance, set-and-forget scheduled housekeeping, and maximum compatibility. It uses the PHP time to determine whether transients are expired, not the database time (which can be different). It does only one job, and it does it well with the minimum of resources.</p>
<p>Now optimised for WordPress Multisite.</p>

Delete Expired Transients

Now and then, I run across a plugin that is simple, well-designed and fills a need painlessly and efficiently. Delete Expired Transients is just such a plugin.
I have a client whose site uses the Diverse Solutions dsIDXPress plugin, which was bloating the options table in the database with thousands of records containing expired transients. Delete Expired Transients cleaned out the options table and keeps it cleaned out. 
Thanks for a great plugin!



Thanks for a Great Plugin!

Given the preponderance of MySQL-backed transient storage installations, this or something like it really should be part of Codex.



A useful and much needed-plugin

Still works great, perfect on Multisite...
