KDK Memcached Object Cache (v1.1 / Feb 2021)

Object cache driver for Memcached in WordPress.

Based on Memcached Redux with corrections for handling Memcached connections and an option to have multiple Memcached backends (defined as an array in wp-config.php).

Installation

Download the repo from https://github.com/kodeka/kdk_memcached_object_cache/archive/master.zip and extract it.

Upload the object-cache.php file to your WordPress site's /wp-content/ folder.

Setup multiple Memcached backends by defining them in wp-config.php like so:

Example:

# Place in wp-config.php & adjust accordingly
function get_memcached_servers () {
    return array(
        '127.0.0.1:11211',
        '10.1.1.1:11211',
        'production.cache.amazonaws.com:11211'
    );
}

Any WordPress caching plugin that offers in-memory object caching (e.g. WP Rocket) can now utilize this object cache driver to store cache objects in Memcached backends.

Enjoy :)
