Wordpress LScache Plugin: Crawler Status Shows 1969 Year, no pages crawled
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 So Ive seen a couple of other posts in this forum with users noting that the Crawler Watch Status shows a year of 1970. The recommendation was to clear the wp-content/litespeed/crawler directory of all files and run a manual crawl. Ive done this and also set the duration to a short time of 100 seconds. This is what the status says. Start watching? 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 Size: 6707 Crawler: #1 Position: 1 Threads: 0 Status: crawling, prepare running Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Hi, what does it show if you click the manual button twice or thrice after page refreshed ? and please provide the report number , you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click send to LiteSpeed Best regards, Report # is QQNQXVCB. When clicking the manual button 2 to 3 times the Watch Status date remains the same. If I delete the meta files and hit the manual button those files arent regenerated. Seems to only create the files when the crawler is scheduled to run. please try , set crawler interval from 302400 to shorter time , like 61 or 121 then wait for 5 minutes , and hit manual button 2/3 times , see how it goes I tried your suggestion and the results remain the same. I even took out the custom sitemap URL and deactivated and reactivated the plugin. I will say that on occasion when I hit the manual button I get a critical error message. Refreshing the page however does reload just fine. The error log shows this message PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant LiteSpeed CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER in in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/litespeed-cache/src/crawler.cls.php:673. Do you think I might need to verify or install particular PHP extension? emmmm? no , I dont think so curl is very-widely used extension , and should you have it already , otherwise I suspect you wont even be able to install wordpress without it may I know what is your PHP version ? and if you create a php file with code:
