Wordpress LScache Plugin: Guest mode + WP All Import + CRON not working
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello dear LiteSpeed Cache representative After updating to the newest version of LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress and turning ON the guest mode the scheduled CRONs from WP All Import stopped working. After trying to debug ? disable all options ? the CRON imports are working again as intended. Enable Cache ? OFF ? the CRON imports are working again as intended. After Purge All ? LSCache (clearing with other options didnt do anything) the scheduled CRONs work for one iteration , then they stop progressing. WP All import scheduled processing CRON URLs look like this for example: Processing URL (should run every 2 minutes): https://kociky-adoli.sk/wp-load.php?import_key=XXXXXX&import_id=19&action=processing` Ive tried: Do Not Cache URIs: /wp-load.php ^/wp-load.php Do Not Cache Query Strings: import_key ?import_key= URI Excludes: /wp-load.php ^/wp-load.php Private Cached URIs: ^/wp-load.php?import_key Nothing helps The only thing that works is to just turn OFF the guest mode altogether. When I visit the processing URL manually from incognito browser it works as intended for one iteration. Theres something bad with the cookies or whats the problem? How to make it work together? Thank you very much for your answer in forward. Hi, what if you created a system cron job instead of using wp-cron ? like this tutorial Hello qtwrk yes those are already system CRON that start that specific URL from WP All Import just asking , does that WP All Import task take very long time to finish ? how long time it takes ? I confirm I have exactly same issue. @CacheCrawler WP All Import has 2 CRONS: ? first is trigger CRON ? just to start the importing proces ? second CRON is for processing ? runs every 2 minutes for iteration etc. In total time imports can run even for hour and more ? depending on the number of items. I think that one iteration of the processing CRON time limitation is dependent on max_execution_time (but I could be wrong) ? so 30 , 60 , 120 seconds ? depends on server settings Any idea how to overcome this problem and have Imports work alongside Guest mode? Hey, I got an answer from the WP All import dev and it seems to work for me, please go here: I went to LiteSpeed Cache ? Cache ? Excludes and added export_id in the Do Not Cache Query Strings section: https://d.pr/i/ERym8c, and it fixed the cron URLs. Let me know if works. Hi, @leax did @nvr21 way work for you ? Best regards, Hi, I have same issue. With guest mode enabled, import cron call doesnt works. After deactivating the feature all back ok. Wp all import team suggests us some fix but didnt works for me. Any news from Cache plugin? Thanks, Daniele what if you exclude cache for all its related URL ? Hi qtwrk, Im waiting for WP AllImport developer reply, in order to check some cron changes. We are try some workaround and Ill update this thread asap. Thank you, Daniele Hello, @CacheCrawler Sorry for the late response. Actually, the issue still persists and I can confirm that guest mode is directly in conflict with cron. Waiting for your feedback. okay , please create a ticket by mail to support at litespeedtech.com we will investigate further Hi qtwrk, we ended to try some workaround with wpallimport team to fix the issue, but all modifications to our crontab still fails. So, even in my case guest mode is not usable because conflict with cron. Thank you, Daniele Hi, I am running wp all import on cron with wp cli. Maybe this fixes your issue: wp all-import run Wp cli is faster and significantly more stable hence its not calling urls. Plus it needs no cron job for iteration running every 2 minutes. So no fix for that? Because i have same issue with WP All import and Litespeed..
