MemcacheD Is Your Friend

Description

Memcached Object Cache provides a persistent backend for the WordPress object cache. A memcached server and either the
the PECL Memcached or PECL Memcache extension and class are required. Detects either the PECL Memecache or PECL
Memcached (Memcached preferred) class and uses the appropriate interface. That means you don’t need to figure out
which PHP class is available in your installation, the plugin will detect the proper configuration.

This plugin does not require manual copying of files between directories for installation, and it doesn’t require the installer
to differentiate between the memcache and memcached PECL extensions if they know their host makes once available.

Also, because this plugin autodetects the PECL extension available, for those that develop on Windows where the
PECL Memcached extension is not generally available, you can maintain a common configuration with your Linux host
where that extension is common.

Plugin creates a dashboard menu option under “Tools” where you can view your memcached statistics.

Plugin is based laregly on previous works by Matt Martz, Ryan Boren (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/memcached/) and

Installation

1. If not already available, install memcached on at least one server. Note the connection info. The default is 127.0.0.1:11211.

2. If not already available on your host, install the [PECL extension](https://pecl.php.net/package/memcached or https://pecl.php.net/package/memcached)

3. Activate the plugin

FAQ

How can I manually specify the memcached server(s)?

Add something similar to the following to wp-config.php above /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:

$memcached_servers = array(
    'default' => array(
        '127.0.0.1:11211',
        '10.10.10.30:11211'
    )
);

Usage of the?__get()/__set()?magic methods is not affected by this change. A dynamic properties deprecation warning can be addressed by: Declaring the property (preferred). Adding the?#[\AllowDynamicProperties]?attribute to the class (which also applies to all child classes). Using aWeakMapif additional data needs to be associated with an object which one does not own.

A really, really easy install. And to ensure it’s working, just look under Tool > Memcached and see statistics. Thanks!
