Wordpress LScache Plugin: FacetWP conflict
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi, I have recently started to use FacetWP, which fails to refresh after a filter option is checked. Ive traced the problem back to LiteSpeed. The filter works immediately as soon as Litespeed cache is disabled. I can see from the Litespeed change logs that this has been addressed in previous updates, but persists with my site. I have the latest version of both plugins. Could you please advise? Heres the relevant line from the debug log 05/19/19 15:37:49.012 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] Footer check passed 05/19/19 15:37:49.013 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] X Cache_control off ? not GET method:POST 05/19/19 15:37:49.013 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] X Cache_control -> no Cache 05/19/19 15:37:49.013 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] X-LiteSpeed-Cache-Control: no-cache 05/19/19 15:37:49.015 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] Footer check failed: 1- facets : recipe_index : Cookies and 05/19/19 15:37:49.015 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] Media finalize 05/19/19 15:37:49.017 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] Optimizer start 05/19/19 15:37:49.026 [80.7.78.244:52270 1 72B] End response The page I need help with: https://www.amummytoo.co.uk/recipe-index/ Hi, Could you please try make backup of file wp-config.php and add this code into it ? define(LSCACHE_ESI_SILENCE, true) Let us know if that works. Best regards, Thanks. I have just tried that and purged all in LSCache but it has not solved the problem. I have managed to get the filter working by putting the value recipe-index (without quotation marks) in LiteSpeed Cache Settings > [6] Tuning > URI Excludes. This is only a temporary fix, though, as obviously it prevents all optimisation of that high-traffic page. It would be great to understand which setting is causing the conflict, please. Hi, Please try use this fwp_recipe_index instead of recipe-index in URI Excludes. and see how it goes. Best regards, Have done that and it works, thanks. The only issue now (with either fwp_recipe_index OR recipe-index in URI Excludes) is that clicking reset or unchecking all the boxes doesnt work, so not quite there yet. https://www.amummytoo.co.uk/recipe-index/ Hi, could you please join our Slack channel or submit a ticket here for helping us to reproduce the bug, thanks!
