Purgify – Transient Purge gives you a fast, accessible way to clear WordPress transients without leaving the screen you’re on.
Features
- Admin Toolbar menu — clear transients from any admin screen or front-end (if logged in as admin) with one click.
- Settings page (
Tools → Purgify) — dedicated page with both clear actions and documentation. - Result notice — after clearing, an admin notice tells you exactly how many transients were deleted, with an expandable list of every key that was removed.
- Two clear modes:
- Clear All — removes every transient regardless of expiry.
- Clear Expired — removes only transients whose expiry time has passed (safe, routine cleanup).
- Nonce-protected actions — all actions are protected against CSRF.
- Translations ready — ships with translations for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), and Italian.
- Lightweight — no external dependencies, no database tables, no options stored.
When should I clear transients?
- After updating plugins or themes whose caches are stale.
- When debugging unexpected cached content.
- As routine maintenance to keep the options table clean (use Clear Expired).
- After migrating or restoring a database.
