Changeset 55148 for trunk/src/wp-includes/global-styles-and-settings.php

Timestamp:

Message:

Editor: Use a non-persistent object cache instead of transient in wp_get_global_stylesheet().

This changeset is part of a greater effort to enhance the caching strategy for theme.json based data. Similar to [55138], the cache is currently ignored when WP_DEBUG is on to avoid interrupting the theme developer's workflow.

Props oandregal, spacedmonkey, hellofromtonya, flixos90, ironprogrammer, azaozz, aristath, costdev, mcsf.
Fixes #56910.
