We recommend reading the README and asking for help in the forums.
But 1 star reviews will do as well ✌️
Apparently this is due to it not being able to find the Redis server, causing it to raise an error. I feel as if it should show an error message instead of breaking every single page of the website. I also think that the developer is being patronizing and unhelpful. Therefore, I agree with this review.

Well, neither of you asked for help. You both left a 1-star review, which isn’t asking for help.
From the forum guidelines:
“Do not use a review for support.”
https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/
We’re not asking for support. Reviews are to tell other people about your experience. We’re just trying to tell people that this plugin will shut down your website without telling you why. You’re the one who started talking about support. We can’t even know to go here to get support because it just shows a generic critical error message!
These reviews are more of a warning to other users to stay away from this plugin for now and to you that there’s a part of your plugin that can be drastically approved.
But comments about experience levels work too ✌️
Im not an expert in web development.
Just helping out a friend running and setting up his site.
Had not done maintenance for 2-3 months, and i went in to update site and plugins.
I bulk-updated plugins but forgot to take an backup first (my bad, but its only plugins right? what could go wrong?)
Suddenly the site went full tilt and i sat for hours trying to figure out with my little knowledge.
Had no idea what plugin that failed and had to ask webhost to roll back 3 days from their own internal backups. (Cost me $30).
Afterwards i played russian rullette trying to figure out what plugin that played me. This time i had backup.

@sindjo81: First of all, this sucks, sorry to hear that.
- I’ve pinned a new “HELP! My site is down!” support topic to the forum as well as the FAQ that will quickly help people recover from 500 errors and fatal errors.
- Financial loss is terrible, the least we can do is send you a lifetime license for Object Cache Pro, drop me an email.
- This was valuable feedback. We’re brainstorming some ideas on how to at least show a clear error when the Redis connection is the problem, instead of the standard WordPress error for beginners who can’t easily access their PHP error logs.
Good Morning,
I have the same problem, went to update 6 plugin and boom my site it´s gone… and the culprit is Redis Object Cache, did the same russian roulette like @sindjo81 to find the problem.
my question is, since fortunately I do have a backup, and was able to recover my site, the question should you postpone the update to 2.3 till you get you plug in in order?
because it´s still there waiting to be update.
thank you,
…and I really like your plugin, I hope don´t have to take it down.

@beppe6dts: We’re working on integrations that remove the guess work. In the meantime you can remove the object-cache.php drop-in.
Be sure to follow the README guide and configure the WP_REDIS_* constants properly.
Hi, I´m actually not updating to the 2.3, the previews version does´t create any problem at the moment, that I´m aware of, at list.
so… it isn’t broke don’t fix it
unless you recommend to remove it?
If the previous version doesn’t create problems, is it actually connected to Redis? Settings > Redis.
well, now that I´ve verify it doesn’t, so I assume it’s doing nothing?
so I should remove it?
It´s gone!
hope you will fix it… thank you
@beppe6dts: There is nothing to fix. You need to read the README and configure Redis Object Cache to communicate with Redis Server.
