Fictioneer 5.5.2

on GitHub

IMPORTANT! Clear all your caches, especially the story data caches under Fictioneer > Tools.

Follow-up to the ongoing performance improvements that will likely continue in 5.5.x for a while. This patch brings more performance fixes and boosts, some critical, especially for shortcodes and sites with many authors. This should also increase the compatibility with persist object caches, such as Redis or Memcached. But if you have page caching simultaneously, there can be issues depending on the cache plugin used. Additional (drastic) measures may be necessary.

Please consider supporting me on Ko-fi if you like the theme.
