## Description

The core functions’ documentation states that nonces, small validity tokens used
throughout WordPress core and other plugins, have a lifespan of 1 day, however they
can last as little as half that time. For common usage that may not be a problem,
but if that lifespan is relied upon in any meaningful way, inexplicable failures
can occur. For example, filters that shorten the lifespan may randomly make it difficult
to complete some tasks before their nonce expires. Very long lifespans, such as 
those set by many caching and SEO optimization plugins, can result in forms and 
other actions suddenly breaking before the cached content expires and new nonces
get generated. Imagine a contact form that’s cached for a week but stops working
after 4 days, then starts working again if that cache is cleared. A cursory search
for terms like `caching nonce expired wordpress` yields many results for relevant
problems.

This plugin guarantees a nonce will last _at least_ as long as it’s intended to,
but up to ⅛ of a lifepsan more. By default, this means a nonce will last from 24
up to 27 hours, rather than anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. It was created because
changing the behaviour of such old code was deemed inappropriate (in [ticket #53236](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53236)),
given the functions are pluggable.

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin in the usual way, through the admin interface by uploading manually
    or searching on the **Plugins** page.
 2. Clear _all_ caching plugins’ content.
 3. Test that forms, etc. on your site are still working. You may need to force-reload
    affected pages first, and clear your browser’s cache.
