SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you replace fragile in-memory or filesystem-based caching, sessions, and queue coordination with a persistent Redis-backed setup for modern WordPress development in the Roots Acorn + Sage ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Redis-backed WordPress object caching: Enables Redis for wp_cache_* via an object-cache.php drop-in (e.g., wp-redis) so cache survives across requests.
  • Acorn Redis cache/session/queue drivers: Uses Laravel cache/session/queue facilities with Redis for durable cross-request performance.
  • Operational verification and troubleshooting: Provides an approach to confirm connectivity (PING), validate object cache behavior, and debug common failures like connection refusal or misconfigured drivers.

Quick Start

Use the skill to set up Redis caching, sessions, and queues in your Acorn-based WordPress project by ensuring Lando provides a cache Redis service and then configuring CACHE_DRIVER, SESSION_DRIVER, REDIS_HOST, and the appropriate Redis database separation for cache vs sessions vs WordPress object cache.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Redis for WordPress sessions and caching in Roots Acorn?

Configure Redis for Roots Acorn by defining CACHE_DRIVER, SESSION_DRIVER, and REDIS_HOST environment variables alongside a Lando redis service, separating Redis databases for cache versus sessions to ensure durable cross-request performance.

What does using Redis for WordPress object caching solve?

Redis object caching solves fragile in-memory or filesystem storage by enabling a persistent wp_cache_* drop-in, ensuring your WordPress cache survives across requests for improved cross-request performance and atomic coordination.

Can I use a Lando redis-cli service with Acorn queue drivers?

Yes, you can use a Lando redis-cli service with Acorn queue drivers by configuring a Lando cache Redis service and setting the queue driver to Redis for durable background job execution and atomic coordination.

Why does my Acorn Redis cache connection get refused?

Your Acorn Redis cache connection gets refused when environment variables like REDIS_HOST are misconfigured or the Lando redis service is missing, requiring operational verification like a PING test to validate connectivity and debug driver failures.

Do I need separate Redis databases for Acorn sessions and WordPress object cache?

Yes, you need separate Redis databases for Acorn sessions and WordPress object cache to prevent data collisions, ensuring cache tag-based invalidation and session persistence operate independently without overwriting each other.
