Frequently asked questions.
Is the data cached?
Yes, plugin data retreived from WordPress.org is cached locally for one hour before being refreshed.
How is the data refreshed?
When someone visits one of your posts (or pages) that uses the [wppd] or [wppdlink] shortcode, the plugin will check to see if the data is more than one hour old. If it is, it will automatically refresh it at that time.
