About Publisima Cache

From the official readme · v4.2.1

Description

  • Secure and compliant with WordPress coding standards.
  • All cache and log files are stored in the WordPress uploads directory (wp-content/uploads/publisima-cache/) for full compatibility and security.

Installation

Frequently asked questions

Where are cache files stored?

All cache, log, and stats files are stored in a dedicated folder inside your WordPress uploads directory (wp-content/uploads/publisima-cache/). This ensures compatibility with all WordPress setups and multisite environments.

Does this plugin modify or require changes to plugin/theme files?

No. Publisima Cache does not require or request any changes to plugin or theme files. All data is stored outside the plugin folder, following WordPress.org guidelines.
