A persistent object cache backend powered by Redis and the Predis library for PHP.


== Description ==

A persistent object cache backend powered by [Redis](http://redis.io/) and the [Predis](https://github.com/nrk/predis/) library for PHP.

The Predis library requires PHP 5.4 or greater.

To adjust the connection parameters or prefixing cache keys, see ["Other Notes"](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redis-cache/other_notes/).

Forked from Eric Mann's and Erick Hitter's [Redis Object Cache](https://github.com/ericmann/Redis-Object-Cache), which requires the Redis PECL extension.


== Installation ==

For detailed installation instructions, please read the [standard installation procedure for WordPress plugins](http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins).

1. Make sure Redis in installed and running.
2. Install and activate plugin.
3. Enable the object cache under _Tools -> Redis_.
4. If necessary, adjust [connection parameters](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redis-cache/other_notes/).


== Connection Parameters ==

By default the object cache drop-in will connect to Redis over TCP at `127.0.0.1:6379` and select database `0`.

To adjust the connection parameters, define the following constants in your `wp-config.php`.

  * `WP_REDIS_SCHEME` [default: `tcp`]

      Specifies the protocol used to communicate with an instance of Redis. Internally the client uses the connection class associated to the specified connection scheme. By default Predis supports `tcp` (TCP/IP), `unix` (UNIX domain sockets) or `http` (HTTP protocol through Webdis).

  * `WP_REDIS_HOST` [default: `127.0.0.1`]

      IP or hostname of the target server. This is ignored when connecting to Redis using UNIX domain sockets.

  * `WP_REDIS_PORT` [default: `6379`]

      TCP/IP port of the target server. This is ignored when connecting to Redis using UNIX domain sockets.

  * `WP_REDIS_DATABASE` [default: not set]

      Accepts a numeric value that is used by Predis to automatically select a logical database with the `SELECT` command.

  * `WP_REDIS_PASSWORD` [default: not set]

      Accepts a value used to authenticate with a Redis server protected by password with the `AUTH` command.


== Prefixing Cache Keys ==

The `WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT` constant is provided to add a prefix to all cache keys.

Users with setups where multiple installs share a common `wp-config.php` or `$table_prefix` can use this constant to guarantee uniqueness for the keys generated by this object cache.
