Constants
Docket Cache uses constants variable as main configuration methods.
Updated: 05-Dec-2020 | Version: >= 20.11.05
Constants are like variables except that once they are defined they cannot be changed or undefined. To change the behaviour of Docket Cache, the following PHP constants can be defined in your wp-config.php file.
DOCKET_CACHE_MAXTTL
Default object lifespan in seconds.
Only numbers between 86400 and 2419200 are allowed.
Default: 345600 (4 days)
1
define('DOCKET_CACHE_MAXTTL', 345600);

If there is no expire time was set to object or set to 0, Docket Cache will use this setting as an expiration time.
This setting does not apply to cache groups below if the value of seconds is lower than the predefined seconds.
