Wordpress LScache Plugin: 404 on pages only
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, I installed this cache plugin on a shared litespeed hosting server and it really reduced my TTFB. Thank you. I also use it with Cloudflare. I minimize css using the plugin and use Cloudflare for JS as suggested by a blog post. Posts and woocommerce product pages and archives load fine. All pages wont load and give a 404 all of a sudden. The page posts are still all fine in the database. Creating a new page to test still results in 404. I have deleted the .htaccess file and regenerated it by saving permalink settings twice and more. None of these made a difference. Only pages are not loading. Hi, when you regenerate .htaccess, do you see wordpress rule in it ? and basically , all your static files , works , but dynamic pages that rely on rewrite rule doesnt work ? Best regards, I am not too sure which ones are static vs dynamic. Posts and product pages and archives are OK. Pages (e.g. terms of use, about-us) are giving me 404. Heres my regenerated .htaccess # BEGIN LSCACHE ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN ? Do not edit the contents of this block! ## RewriteEngine on CacheLookup on RewriteRule . ?

[L] RewriteCond % REQUEST_FILENAME !-f RewriteCond % REQUEST_FILENAME !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] see how it goes Best regards, Tried both, didnt make a difference?.. Could you please tell me other things to check? Hi, Then it seems the issue is not related to cache plugin. All in all, next step I would like to suggest you to contact your hosting provider, they should be able to check server log to find out why it gives 404 Best regards, By the way, if you set plain text in permalink, did it work? Hi, Im going to mark this topic Resolved , due to lack of activity. If you still need help, please feel free to re-open it. When re-open it, please also change the topic status to not solved Best regards,
