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><strong>Purgify – Transient Purge</strong> gives you a fast, accessible way to clear WordPress transients without leaving the screen you’re on.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Admin Toolbar menu</strong> — clear transients from any admin screen or front-end (if logged in as admin) with one click.</li>
<li><strong>Settings page</strong> (<code>Tools <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Purgify</code>) — dedicated page with both clear actions and documentation.</li>
<li><strong>Result notice</strong> — after clearing, an admin notice tells you exactly how many transients were deleted, with an expandable list of every key that was removed.</li>
<li><strong>Two clear modes:</strong>
<ul>
<li><em>Clear All</em> — removes every transient regardless of expiry.</li>
<li><em>Clear Expired</em> — removes only transients whose expiry time has passed (safe, routine cleanup).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Nonce-protected actions</strong> — all actions are protected against CSRF.</li>
<li><strong>Translations ready</strong> — ships with translations for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), and Italian.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — no external dependencies, no database tables, no options stored.</li>
</ul>
<h4>When should I clear transients?</h4>
<ul>
<li>After updating plugins or themes whose caches are stale.</li>
<li>When debugging unexpected cached content.</li>
<li>As routine maintenance to keep the options table clean (use <em>Clear Expired</em>).</li>
<li>After migrating or restoring a database.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.</p>
