 * Hello there,
   i used this Plugin on many Sites very succesfully, but on a Site
   with a lot of entrys it sometimes randomly shows : “The SQLite Object Cache temporarily
   failed”It appears when somtimes opening the Editor or sometimes when opening 
   the list of all entrys .Any idea why this could happen? Anyway i hope that one
   time this goes into the Core of WordPress, has such a good future in it!Ty

 * Thank you for your trouble report, and your kind words.
 * This means the plugin was unable to open the .sqlite file in …/wp-content/.ht.
   object-cache.sqlite (or wherever you relocated it with WP_SQLITE_OBJECT_CACHE_DB_FILE).
   It recovers by recreating the file immediately. Because it is a cache, no harm
   is done except to the experience of the person who sees the message.
 * This can happen when using wp-cli, if the web-server user and the interactive
   shell user are different. When that happens the file’s protections block one 
   or the other user’s access. On Ubuntu I work around it by doing wp-cli commands
   like this example.
 * `sudo -u www-data wp config list`
 * If you enable WP_DEBUG_LOG this error will put an entry in the debug log that
   has a little more information about what happened. If you have further information,
   please let me know about it.
 * About putting it into core: there’s been talk among wordpress.org contributors
   about creating a set of “feature plugins” that extend the basic capabilities 
   of the core. This is the sort of thing that would be most useful to the most 
   people as a feature plugin, I believe. Not everybody’s php configuration supports
   SQLite, and it’s absurdly sloooooow on some edge-case configurations. So we don’t
   always want it to be enabled.

 * Thanks for your fast response,
   i will definitly try to get more information out
   of it with the Debug System and i also think that having this as the Core “default”
   object Cache that can be if needed swapped out would help a lot of people. 🙂
   I need to mention that the Server that i used is from one of my clients in this
   case, a shared environment from the german Host Strato.Thanks again for your 
   response i will look more into it and try to get more information out.Cheers

 * I think this could be the error:

 * The most recent version of the plugin should address these problems. The missing`
   __()` function is an attempt at localizing an error message too soon in the WordPress
   load life cycle. And the connection problem is probably related to permissions.
 * Please don’t hesitate to open another topic if you still have problems.

 * Thank you Jones!
   I also need to add that this only happened to some of the Hosts
   like Strato for example others worked flawless, big thanks!
