Wordpress LScache Plugin: Litespeed Cache Plugin Kills WooCommerce Subscriptions
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Yesterday I noticed that my WooCommerce subscriptions had stopped working. When I view the products, straight after purging the LiteSpeed cache the products changed back to their original product type of Variable Subscription and then after a screen refresh, they change to a Simple Product and stop being a subscription, rendering them useless. In the WooCommerce Settings page, the Subscriptions tab comes and goes as purge the cache from the Litespeed menu in the admin toolbar. I tried a number of different plugin settings, and ultimately spent around eight hours trying to firstly find the cause, and then trying to keep LiteSpeed Cache turned on, but the only way I could get Subscriptions to start working again was to completely deactivate the LiteSpeed Cache plugin. Therefore, I have no page for you to look at because its working right now. Ive alerted WooCommerce to this issue too, as Id originally gone to them thinking it was a problem with the Subscriptions plugin. Until you can provide a fix I will leave your plugin deactivated, but that obviously slows down my site, so I hope this doesnt take too long. Hi, Could you please join our Slack ? We would like to have more detailed information about it. if youd join in, please let me know your username Best regards, Sure, I just joined as Martin Bailey. Hi, OK, thanks. Best regards, In case anyone looks at this, I noticed that after a WooCommerce update I was constantly getting this notice in my WordPress admin console, with a Thanks button: WooCommerce database update complete. Thank you for updating to the latest version! I pressed the Thanks button many times but the notice always comes back. I dont know how or why this is causing the problems with WooCommerce Subscriptions when the LiteSpeed Cache plugin is active, but I looked into how to fix the Notice not going away and found that in my database, in the xxx_wc_admin_notes table if I updated wc-update-db-reminder from unactioned to actioned and saved the record, the Notice stopped reappearing. After doing that, I was able to turn the LiteSpeed Cache plugin back on, and the WooCommerce Subscriptions continued to work fine. I have no idea of the relationship, but this worked for me.
