Caveats
- CUSTOM FIELDS
Due to the fact that some plugins add/update/delete custom field information
by using update_post_meta(…), add_post_meta(…) etc and there are no WP hooks
available to catch when this happens, this plugin utilizes internal WP scheduling
(CRON) to run and update of the index tables ‘custom fields’ fields every hour.
This means that when for example..
Your rating plugin updates a custom field that it stores the it’s post rating in
then your index table may be out of date for upto an hour before it runs the scheduled
task to update this.
