This is a refresh of the previous patches & tests on the ticket. More work & testing is needed though.

One big blocker right now is that the count query in get_posts_by_author_sql() is based on the current user and its capabilities. So that probably needs a second cache key. That's why previous patches used a hash of that where clause as part of the cache key when doing the count. But you need the same key also when clearing the cache.

Right now the one test is failing because of the incomplete caching.

Did you consider using clean_post_cache. Lots of plugins do manaul sql updates and then call this function.

I did, but I think it runs too often. No reason to clear the cache unless the post status or author changes, or if the post is deleted.

Including

  • Yoast SEO
  • WooCommerce
  • Jetpack
  • Elementor

and other very popular plugins. Sadly I think we HAVE to use this hook.
