# Maple GDPR Cookies - FIXED VERSION v4.0.1

## 🔧 Critical Fix Applied

### Issue Fixed:
**Fatal Error:** Call to undefined function `wp_cache_delete_group()`

### Root Cause:
The function `wp_cache_delete_group()` does not exist in WordPress core. This was causing a fatal error during plugin activation at line 273.

### Solution Implemented:
Completely rewrote the `mgc_clear_all_caches()` function (lines 145-190) to use proper WordPress cache functions:

1. **wp_cache_flush()** - Clears all WordPress object cache
2. **delete_transient()** - Removes plugin-specific transients
3. **wp_cache_delete()** - Deletes specific cache keys
4. **Database query** - Cleans up orphaned transient entries
5. **Action hooks** - Allows other plugins to integrate

### What Changed:

#### BEFORE (Lines 145-150 - BROKEN):
```php
function mgc_clear_all_caches() {
    wp_cache_delete_group('maple-gdpr-cookies'); // ❌ Doesn't exist
    delete_transient('mgc_settings');
}
```

#### AFTER (Lines 145-190 - FIXED):
```php
function mgc_clear_all_caches() {
    // Method 1: Clear WordPress object cache
    if (function_exists('wp_cache_flush')) {
        wp_cache_flush();
    }
    
    // Method 2: Clear plugin-specific transients
    global $wpdb;
    $transients = $wpdb->get_col(
        "SELECT option_name FROM $wpdb->options 
         WHERE option_name LIKE '_transient_mgc_%'"
    );
    
    foreach ($transients as $transient) {
        $transient_key = str_replace('_transient_', '', $transient);
        delete_transient($transient_key);
    }
    
    // Method 3: Clear specific plugin caches
    $cache_keys = array('mgc_settings', 'mgc_stats', 'mgc_consent_logs');
    foreach ($cache_keys as $key) {
        wp_cache_delete($key, 'maple-gdpr-cookies');
        delete_transient($key);
    }
    
    // Method 4: WooCommerce compatibility
    if (function_exists('wc_delete_shop_order_transients')) {
        wc_delete_shop_order_transients();
    }
    
    // Method 5: Extensibility hook
    do_action('mgc_clear_caches');
}
```
