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.
