Conflict with Memcached & Ultra heavy numbers of alerts #126

Open shanemarsh28 opened 3 years ago

shanemarsh28 commented 3 years ago

We are using the plugin in a network activated mode and v1.8.28 does not appear handle Wordpress caching/transients correctly and therefore conflicts: https://wordpress.org/plugins/memcached/

When plugin settings are saved within the network control panel the caches consistently need to be flushed before anything takes effect. Although it does appear that within the control panel itself the changes have saved, they just don't affect the front end working of the plugin.

We have also had an incident where plugin settings were lost entirely as memcached data was flushed. The only way we found out was a poor client complained as they were bombarded with hundreds of emails (a minute!!!!) because Securi chose a seeming random alert email address (probably an admin email from first blog to request traffic after the settings were lost) and then proceeded to send an alert email for every update to every blog within the entire multisite network. Our resolution was to input the correct settings, turn off the alers and flush the memcached instance.

I'd appreciate your help, Thank you. Shane

Due to your lack of support we will no longer be using your plugin.
