Wordpress LScache Plugin: LiteSpeed Continuously Downgrading
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, Litespeed is continuously downgrading to 3.6.4 we have approximately 172 websites hosted and only 5 of them are doing this. I have opened a number of support tickets with the provider and they have advised that it is not them. Can you please list out the troubleshooting steps? Why have two previous tickets simply been marked as solved when there is clearly a problem? Thank you Hi, the plugin itself shouldnt upgrade or downgrade itself without users action. so far I only encounter 2 cases provider mass enable/disable the cache plugin , this could lead to version change , depends on their admin setting for this case, try create an empty file in your wordpress dir with name .litespeed_flag , this should tell server cache manager to leave this site alone another case was some kind of backup/restore plugin that leads to such case we have approximately 172 websites hosted and only 5 of them are doing this is there anything common between these 5 sites ? and anything different than other 167 sites ? and also please provide one or two reports numbers from these 5 sites , you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click send to LiteSpeed Best regards, Hello, Thank you! that file seems to have solved it I tested on a few sites and they did not downgrade. The thing is the sites are all on the same WHM. What exactly do I need to tell the hosting provider? I have already opened a number of tickets with them. Thank you. Hi, what did you do ? the .litespeed_flag ? Best regards, Hello, Yes I just created an empty file in the WordPress Directory Thank you so much we have wasted months and countless hours on this. Hi, good to know you can kindly ask your provider , go to WHM LiteSpeed plugin -> Manage Cache Installations then flag all your domains , like this Best regards,
