   Hi!

   I want to try out the set and get_transient functions. As an example I used my tag_cloud which is generated randomly on every page request. I set the timeout to 10 seconds but it does not seem to work.

   What am I doing wrong?

   // Get any existing copy of our transient data
   // delete_transient('special_query_results');
   $special_query_results = get_transient('special_query_results');
   
   // If it wasn't there regenerate the data and save the transient
   if (!$special_query_results) {
       echo "<!-- caching -->";
   $special_query_results = wp_tag_cloud(array(
       'smallest'  => 8,
       'largest'   => 16,
       'number'    => 30,
       'order'     => 'RAND',
       'echo'      => false ));
        set_transient('special_query_results', $special_query_results, 10);
   }
   echo $special_query_results;
