Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to configure something?

If you are using a Memcached service with default values host 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and port 11211 or you are hosting with freistil.it than you don’t need to configure anything.

With other hosters or service settings you need to set the server and port in the plugin settings page.

How to purge cache?

Click on the “Purge Cache” link in the topbar or using WP-CLI:

wp memcache flush

How to use multiple Memcached servers?

Currently the only way to use more than one Memcached server requires to edit the object-cache.php file:

$memcached_servers = array(
                    '10.10.10.20:11211',
                    '10.10.10.30:11217'
    );

Works very well ! Thank you

the highlight color deserves to be more discreet in the menu, but otherwise, it's just perfect! Finally a plugin that works with memcached on my server and just for that, thank you 1000 times! Ajax reload for flushing is nice ;)
