Docket Cache on Admin Dashboard

Hi,

First, object caching means the cache needs to add/update/delete/expiration by using wp_cache_* function. By default, WordPress core uses it. When activating docket cache, it extends the feature makes it persistent by storing the cache into php files using object-cache.php file, it called drop-in file.

Is the cache enabled in the admin?

Yes, with or without docket cache, WordPress object cache enables by default.

Should I worry about order management in WooCommerce?

No.

What does the option Deactivate Woocommerce admin means

It turn off WooCommerce Analytics page. It related to performance.

When Advanced post caching is enabled, if I updated a product’s price… does the home page gets updated too?

Yes, it should automatically, unless you’re updating directly to database without using WordPress.

What Advanced post caching does is, it reduce database query by caching WordPress post queries.

When do you recommend I should flush the cache? Should I worry about pricees and such?

Only when you need something fresh. Normally it’s not caused any issue.

If I install opcache on my server.. i still need the plugin to use it with WP, right?

No need. We only require a native opcache extension. Docket cache comes with OPcache viewer. You can enable it at Configuration -> OPcache Viewer.

It needs to create the object-cache.php file or it won’t use the php cache

Docket cache will handle this part. Without it own object-cache.php file, docket cache can’t handle object caching.

I’m suggesting using “query monitor” plugin for debugging and see what happens in WordPress process.

you’re welcome, glad to help.

Thanks.

You should say that in the docs!, because it looks like it would deactivate the docket cache on the admin area of woocommerce (orders and such)

Yes, I think I should use the less technical word since it only triggers “woocommerce_admin_disabled” filter set to true. Will change it in the next release and updates the docs as well.

So.. when I update a post or an order/product, the cache is flushed?

It will update the cache, by triggering wp action/filter hook. You can refer here:
https://github.com/nawawi/docket-cache/blob/master/includes/src/PostCache.php at line 52.

private function setup_hooks()
    {
        add_action('switch_blog', [$this, 'setup_for_blog'], 10, 2);
        add_filter('posts_request', [&$this, 'posts_request'], 10, 2);
        add_filter('posts_results', [&$this, 'posts_results'], 10, 2);
        add_filter('post_limits_request', [&$this, 'post_limits_request'], 999, 2);
        add_filter('found_posts_query', [&$this, 'found_posts_query'], 10, 2);
        add_filter('found_posts', [&$this, 'found_posts'], 10, 2);

        // https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/clean_term_cache/
        add_action('clean_term_cache', [$this, 'flush_cache']);
        add_action('clean_post_cache', [$this, 'flush_cache']);

I have mysql query cache enabled.. should I deactivate it?

No need.

You can always report if found any issue if the post not updated as it should and not as expected.

Thanks.

the docs is not complete yet. in this case, you can disabled object cache at Overview page, click disable object cache or deactive docket cache.

thanks.
