 * Is there a way to ONLY object cache the stuff in the back end… like the wp_options
   table, or the autoloaded stuff for every page, and leave anything alone that 
   might effect the frontend of the site?
 * That would be amazing. Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fonly-cache-backend%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hey! This has been asked many times before, and the answer is no you can’t because
   how how WordPress handle object caching.
 * However you can add `options` to the list of ignore/non-persistent groups and
   that will prevent any `wp_options` adjacent data from being cached.

 * Thank you for the reply! On the contrary, Till, I ONLY want to cache wp_options.
   That’s the most important (only) table that I’m aware I should really be using
   object cache for… and I know for sure that it won’t break my membership plugin.

 * Mhhh, there isn’t really a mechanism to only cache a single group. You’d need
   to list all groups in `WP_REDIS_IGNORED_GROUPS` that you want to ignore one by
   one.
