Plugin saves its data as a transient

    Plugin saves its data as a transient. And because of this, plugins like “WP Rocket” see’s expired and all transients as temporary options, which can be cleared. However, I have done this before and lost every single yourchannel shortcode that I created, which were over 100 in total. Therefore, they had to be reimported via a backup. Talking with my dreamhost support, they wanted to let you know that your plugin is the only one saving its files in the wrong location in the database and needs fixed. My database is growing very large because of these transient files.

    Hi, YourChannel doesn’t store channel settings as transients. It only stores videos & playlists generated from those settings as transients. Deleting these videos & playlists doesn’t affect the settings themselves.

    All the settings are stored in the yrc_keys option in WP Options table. (yrc_keys actually stores just the unique ids for each channel setting – which are then stored as a different option (not transient) ).
