Refresh External RSS Feeds More Often
Changes how long WordPress caches feeds fetched from other sites for the RSS widget and feed shortcodes, which is 12 hours by default.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Cache time for external feeds, in seconds.
$wpide_feed_cache_seconds = HOUR_IN_SECONDS;
add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', function () use ( $wpide_feed_cache_seconds ) {
return max( 600, (int) $wpide_feed_cache_seconds );
} );Notes
Very short times add load to your server and to the source site; one hour is a sensible minimum.
