Description
Leira Transients gives you direct visibility and control over transient data stored by WordPress and plugins.
From a single admin screen, you can:
- Browse standard and site transients.
- Search, sort, and filter by status (All, Active, Expired, Persistent).
- Quick-edit transient value and expiration.
- Delete one or many transients safely from the UI.
- Use per-page screen options for large datasets.
This plugin is built for developers and advanced site administrators.
Important: changing transient values or expiration dates can affect plugin behavior and cache logic. Use carefully on production sites.
