Review your trash before using it if you might need to recover something — this step is irreversible by design, same as emptying WordPress’s own trash. #### Notes on OPcache / APCu Those two actions only have an effect if the corresponding PHP extension is installed and enabled by your host. If it isn’t, the dashboard reports the layer as « Inactive» and the action safely does nothing. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard with live cache status and one-click Super Clean.⌉⌊Dashboard with live cache status and one-click Super Clean.⌉[ Dashboard with live cache status and one-click Super Clean.

Review your trash first if you need to recover anything. ### Why do OPcache/APCu show « Inactive » on my dashboard? Those controls only take effect if the corresponding PHP extension is installed and enabled on your server. If your host doesn’t provide them, the badge reports« Inactive » and the action safely does nothing. ### Does it work with Redis or Memcached? Yes. The object cache action flushes whatever object cache backend WordPress is currently using, whether that’s an external store like Redis/Memcached or the default internal cache. ### Does this plugin phone home or send data anywhere? No. All actions run locally against your own site’s cache, database, and filesystem. Nothing is sent to any external service. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Byot Cache Cleaner” is open source software.
