AccelerateWP "Redis Object Cache" plugin is not installed

If you're receiving an error message stating that the "Redis Object Cache" plugin is not installed in AccelerateWP, it means that AccelerateWP is trying to utilize Redis for object caching, but the Redis Object Cache plugin is not installed on your WordPress site.

Here are the steps to resolve this issue:

  1. Install Redis Object Cache Plugin:

    • Go to your WordPress dashboard.
    • Navigate to "Plugins" > "Add New".
    • Search for "Redis Object Cache" and install the plugin.
    • Once installed, activate it.
  2. Configure Redis:

    • If Redis is not already installed and configured on your server, you will need to do so. This typically involves installing Redis on your server and configuring WordPress to connect to it. There are many resources available online that can guide you through this process.
  3. Check Redis Connection:

    • After installing and activating the Redis Object Cache plugin, go to "Settings" > "Redis" in your WordPress dashboard.
    • Configure the Redis settings to connect to your Redis server. This typically involves providing the host, port, and other authentication details.
  4. Test Redis Connection:

    • The Redis Object Cache plugin usually provides a "Test Redis" button. Click it to verify that your WordPress installation can connect to the Redis server.
  5. Re-enable Redis Caching in AccelerateWP:

    • Once Redis is properly configured, go back to AccelerateWP settings and enable the Redis caching option.
  6. Verify Cache Functionality:

    • Test your website to ensure that Redis caching is functioning as expected. You can use tools like GTmetrix or Google PageSpeed Insights to confirm the improvements.

If you encounter any specific issues during this process, refer to the documentation for Redis, the Redis Object Cache plugin, and AccelerateWP. Additionally, you may want to reach out to the support channels for these tools for further assistance.
