WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT key unchanged

    Hi,
    I installed and tested the plugin. Very easy and simple. It worked but 3 keys out of 9 were not changed. The first 2 are AUTH_KEY and AUTH_SALT. Another post suggests that all the keys should be changed manually prior to using the plugin and then everything will be fine, which I’ll do tonight.
    However, my wp-config.php file has a 9th key called WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT which is not changed. That key is not mentioned in the plugin documentation.
    What can I do?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi @capchampagne!

    Thanks for testing the plugin and for reporting this.

    Regarding AUTH_KEY and AUTH_SALT, we have another report and I’ll look into this as soon as I can.

    Regarding the WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT, it has nothing to do with the salt keys this plugin changes. It’s related to Memcached object caching and it’s being defined as

    >This helps prevent cache pollution when multiple WordPress installs are using the same Memcached server. The value must be unique for each WordPress install.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi @capchampagne – thanks again for the report. I have released 1.3.1 which should fix the issue.

    Please give it a test and let me know if everything is working fine!

    Hi Ahmed,
I'm using 1.3.1.
I changed the keys manually (not using Salt Shaker), then I used it and all 8 keys were correctly changed.
Regarding the key WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT, I removed it since I have no use for it (probably a leftover from our previous hosting service).
So, everything is fine now.
Many thanks for your help
