Does this work with sites that use object caching?

Not at this time, it only works when transients are stored in the options table.

Reviews

Very convenient and intuitive tool!

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!

Works as expected, helpful for development

If you use your own transients to speed up things, and you make changes in your code, this is a great way to clear your already saved transients without triggering your custom delete action by e.g. having to save a post.

Came to the rescue

I had a unique performance issue which was basically killing my WordPress site. The Transient Manager plugin allowed me to spot something within a few minutes and I got my site back up and running smoothly. It's definitely a crucial tool for connecting the dots when troubleshooting! [ link redacted ]
