ACPT built-in cache settings

Here you have the ACPT built-in Cache settings:

Setting
Default
Description

Enable ACPT cache

On

Cache is enabled by default, but you can always disable it.

Enable cache for meta data

Off

Use the ACPT cache for storing meta data.

Cache driver

File system

Choose between three cache backends: File system (stores cache data as files on disk), Redis (connects to a Redis server), or Memcached (connects to a Memcached server). See Driver configuration below.

Cache stats

—

Info about items stored in ACPT cache.

Flush the ACPT cache

—

Flush the entire ACPT cache.

Driver configuration

Selecting a driver reveals additional configuration fields.

File system

Setting
Default
Description

Cache folder

cache

Relative sub-folder name inside the plugin directory. By default data is stored at wp-content/plugins/advanced-custom-post-type/cache.

Cache folder (absolute path)

Empty

Optional absolute server path (e.g. /var/cache/acpt). When set, overrides the relative folder above. Any value starting with / is treated as absolute; values without a leading / are ignored in favour of the built-in default.

Use the absolute path when:

  • The plugin directory is read-only (e.g. managed hosting, Docker image).

  • You run a multi-site network and want all sites to share a single cache volume.

  • You want to point the cache at a high-performance tmpfs or RAM-disk mount.

Redis

Setting
Default
Description

Redis host

127.0.0.1

Hostname or IP of your Redis server.

Redis port

6379

TCP port Redis is listening on.

Redis database

0

Redis database index.

Memcached

Setting
Default
Description

Memcached host

127.0.0.1

Hostname or IP of your Memcached server.

Memcached port

11211

TCP port Memcached is listening on.

Test driver connection

After filling in the driver settings, click Test driver connection to verify ACPT can reach the cache backend. A success message confirms the connection; if a required library is missing (e.g. predis for Redis), ACPT will offer to install it automatically.
