How to Create a Transient PHP wordpress

You can create a transient in WordPress using the following steps:

  1. Use the set_transient() function to store the value in a transient. This function takes three parameters: the name of the transient, the value to store, and the expiration time in seconds.

  2. Implement a conditional check using the get_transient() function to retrieve the value of the transient. If the transient exists, use the value; otherwise, perform the necessary action to generate the value and store it in the transient.

  3. When the transient expires, it will be automatically deleted from the database.

These steps will allow you to effectively create and utilize transients in your WordPress development.
