Transient are not always deleted when they expire, and that makes them unpredictable and sometimes a pain. Whenever I work with transients, I add some kind of functionality to delete the transients when something happens, like I delete transients when publishing posts or updating them if the transient was meant to keep data related to … Read more
Not clear about what exactly is wrong but few comments about things you are doing wrongish transients cache values up to a time so your random game can actually be totally pointless especially if a url is not being frequently fetched, since you use redis the value might expire as part of the memory cleanup … Read more
The reason it’s only storing the first post data is because you’re using the same transient name for each post. If you want to store multiple movie transients, you need unique names for each movie. Also, the way you’re getting the transient defeats the purpose of using transients. You want to first try to get … Read more
Yes you can, transients is on your server, not accessible by front end client. You can use also update_option() https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/update_option
