Wordpress LScache Plugin: Caching and optimization doesnt work
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, I had before WP Rocket and I removed it. I removed in wp-config define(WP_CACHE, true) LS plugin doesnt show any error but it just doesnt work. Log file is at the bottom. Probably its good to mention that I have this site in folder instead of /public_html and I have rewritten in main .htaccess rules to go to folfer: RewriteCond % HTTP_HOST ^(www.)?comoaprenderingles.es$ RewriteCond % REQUEST_URI !^/como/ RewriteCond % REQUEST_FILENAME !-f RewriteCond % REQUEST_FILENAME !-d RewriteRule ^(. )$ /como/$1 RewriteCond % HTTP_HOST ^(www.)?comoaprenderingles.es$ RewriteRule ^(/)?$ como/index.php [L] RewriteCond % HTTPS !^on$ RewriteRule (. ) https://comoaprenderingles.es/$1 [R,L] I sent you a report via settings menu but it didnt give me any number. Thank you for you help!

Hi, @pixtweaks Do you still need help with this issue? If not, Id like to mark it Resolved. If so, can you share the contents of como/.htaccess? Thanks! Hello Lisa, no, its still not working. Here is .htaccess Any suggestions I can do to make it work? Thank you! # BEGIN LSCACHE ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN ?

There may be a conflict between your Cloudflare and LSCache settings. LSCache handles all dynamic content (HTML). Cloudflare should be set up to only handle static content (Javascript, CSS, images, etc.). Can you verify that Cloudflare is only caching static content? I have changed it to cache only /wp-content/upload/ but I have another 3 sites on the same server with the same settings and on all LS cache works great from the very first moment. And I have set up CSS/JS combination, HTML minification and this is not visible in HTML, so to me for some reason, it doesnt work Maybe there is a conflict with another plugin. Do you have any plugin in use for this site that you are not using for the others? Also, you might want to look at the report output for all of your sites and compare them. Its possible you did one little thing differently with this site and you dont realize it. You can find the report under LiteSpeed Cache > Report Jaro, did you remember to turn on caching? LiteSpeed Cache > Settings > General, set Enable LiteSpeed Cache to Enable. In the setting, the Caching is on for sure. Before I had WP Rocket on this site, but I had WP Rocket on the others too. As well the same configuration I recently made on another server and worked all fine right away. I tried to turn off all plugins and no change. Any other ideas why it doesnt work? Thank you Hello, Can you check 2 things. 1 ? In Litespeed cache -> Settings -> Advanced tab is ?Include advanced-cache.php ? check. 2 ? What is in that file wp-content/advanced-cache.php Hello, Just found all other pages show 404 not found, is there any change you made recently? Thank you Erik, I didnt know about 404 error. I solved the issue! There were 2 problems. In root folder .htaccess there was WP basic command # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index .php$ ? [L] RewriteCond % REQUEST_FILENAME !-f RewriteCond % REQUEST_FILENAME !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress I removed it and 404s disappeared. Second, as Tishu suggested to check advanced-cache.php It was check and when I unchecked it, caching and optimization started to work. There is a code from WP-Rocket that was installed on this site before. Now shell I leave advanced-cache.php off or turn it on and delete all its content? Thank you for your help! Thanks for sharing the solution! Im glad its working. You can handle that advanced-cache.php file however you would like. Personally, Id probably delete the contents and turn it on in LSCache. Theres no point keeping WP-Rocket config files around, if youve uninstalled the plugin. ]
