Reduce time between “Cache Info” updates

Thanks for the quick reply !

The transient manager is probably the simplest solution.

However I would quite like to change the code but, I don’t want to edit the plugin directly I’d obviously lose the changes between updates. A quick google search led me to this post https://iandunn.name/2014/01/10/the-right-way-to-customize-a-wordpress-plugin/

Would any of this work with AO?

Thanks again

wow that’s amazing thanks

I am trying to create a plugin with a settings page that would manipulate this without having to edit code every time. (Using the wp boilerpate from https://wppb.me/)

This is my first plugin attempt so I am actually stuck!!! Will have to research tomorrow and try get going again…

Nonetheless thank you very much for adding the filters, hopefully I’ll be able to learn what I need and finish this off

Yes I think I jumped in at the deep end there !

I actually created a settings page with the input field. It was the rest of it that got me stuck 🙂

I am attempting to hook into the filter just now using a snippet, I do like to try and teach myself however I would happily accept some starting off pointers. Unfortunately the available docs on WP are generally for creating your own plugins and code or manipulating default WP core stuff – not manipulating someone else’s plugin 😉

Thanks

Ah cool thanks,

I was trying to do something like this:

function ao_custom_refresh( $duration ) {
    $duration=120; 

	    
        return $duration;
    }

 add_filter( 'autoptimize_filter_cache_statsexpiry', 'ao_custom_refresh' );

but it seemed to be refreshing every 60s anyway so I will swap it out for your code.

In terms of that do you think

add_filter('autoptimize_filter_cache_statsexpiry', 120);

would work? or would it be

add_filter('autoptimize_filter_cache_statsexpiry', 2 * MINUTE_IN_SECONDS);

Thanks again !

Hey Frank,

No problems at all ! I’m just thankful for your excellent support 😀

I’m glad I was close with my example, good to know I was on the right track at least – the self teaching is still proving to be mostly useful….

Anyway I have altered the code again and it seems to be working great. Its updating every 120 secs which I will probably increase to a longer duration now that its working and I am about to finish for the holidays.

Which leads me back to the plugin – probably won’t be til after new year now but I am definitely going to try and convert this into a plugin as mentioned before with a settings page to change the refresh rate on the fly and to “pay it forward” I think I will probably upload it to the WP repo aswell for others who may want it – assuming you have no objections as its an addon to your plugin (also assuming I get it working !!!!)

Anyway you’re an absolute legend Frank ! By way of thanks please do let me know if I can be of any assistance with AO moving forward, (as I have your dev version on our live site I plan on playing with the extra features when I get some time and I’ll give any feedback as/when it comes up)

Hoe you have yourself a great Christmas (if you celebrate it!) and New year.
