Update to core handling #37

Open dartiss opened 1 year ago

dartiss commented 1 year ago

Okay, so bear with me, this is a big one.

Since WP4.9, core has done the housekeeping itself (why the hell didn't anybody tell me?). Here's the code... https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/e5b8662000b53dfdf734bef83eb2b02facfabb16/wp-includes/option.php#L1028

It hooks into the daily trash collection here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/b8bc65042ab4c57cefc46bbf9eb8d56e00188dee/wp-admin/admin.php#L106. Oh, and it does it on upgrade too. Basically, what my plugin does. Plus it handles some other things better than I do.

So, with this release I want to use what'a already there and add a few extras on from mine. Basically, the ability to run them ad-hoc. To do this, I need to call delete_expired_transients. What I'll loose is the ability to report on when it last ran.

This will also limit the options - the ability to run, plus the ability to optimise afterwards. Also provide the ability to clear all transients too.

Will move minimum version of WP for this plugin to 4.9 and exclusively use the core function to do the housekeeping.

As a result I will remove certain settings, such as defining when the housekeeping will run.
