Wordpress LScache Plugin: Remove Dashboard Button
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, Im using LiteSpeed Webserver on my CloudLinux/cPanel Server to manage clients sites. Some of my clients feel irritated by the Litespeed-button and ask me what it is, if and when they should use it or sometimes if I can remove it for them as they feel distracted from their editorial workflows. In order to reduce these kind of support requests Id like to ask you to change the plugin-setup in a way, that after the installation the dashboard button is hidden, so that the site-admin can unhide it in the plugins settings ? rather than showing it in dashboard-menu by default. Any chance to provide this? I have posted a screenshot rather then my website, because this issue occurs on all my wp-sites https://www.evernote.com/l/AAO4mNPodEtHCI5uVx4ENcRXX1Db1WQy9D4 Thank you and kind regards, Sascha The page I need help with: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAO4mNPodEtHCI5uVx4ENcRXX1Db1WQy9D4 Hi Sascha, If we remove the word, only keep the icon, will it help? This isnt my ticket (obviously), though I do want to add my own opinion to this topic as it will affect all of us: @hailite: I actually rather like that idea, though it made me think about it a bit further: The uppermost text, on the actually Admin bar itself, reads Litespeed Cache Purge All , with the lower settings, depending on configuration, has Object Cache Purge All , OpCache Purge All , & possibly even CloudFlare Cache Purge All . It got me wondering ? Does the Litespeed Cache Purge All string on the actually Admin bar affect ONLY Litespeed Cache in and of itself, or does it also trigger the other three, ergo Truly a Purge ALL option? I think the answer to that would affect how I would view and/or feel about just the Litespeed Logo being on the Admin Bar itself. Of course, I suspect you are thinking to simply move the string on the Admin bar down into the drop-down stack, yeah? Regardless, I am indeed curious as to the actual functionality of the string option on the Admin bar. Much appreciated. Hi @3dseo, Currently LiteSpeed Cache Purge All Only affects lscache. for the other 3 purge all, they are individual. The reason we put lscache purge all in admin bar is to get users easy to access the purge action. Maybe we can move it into the dropdown and still give the icon same purge link? That can make the UI looks clearer. Since youre asking for input, I would have the icon only be a drop-down, that way there isnt any confusion or the need to look for instructions. The only way Id keep it as a LSC-PA Action is if you put the instructions clearly stated, preferably with an image, on the cache page, as per this Imagur link: https://imgur.com/a/fqOTh Done in https://github.com/litespeedtech/lscache_wp/commit/aece6a8820eabb4b794f2661769160209fb5a13a That is Outstanding, @hailite, you rock! If I may, I would like to second the motion put forward by @saschinger, & ask what you think of the idea as well: What do you think of allowing us a check-box option? Im thinking it would be most fitting on the LSC General Tab, categorically speaking? to allow Admins to Hide/Show the Admin Bar Button. This would accommodate not only Saschingers type of client, it would also be both advantageous & possibly desirable for those people that have an already crowded Admin Bar?or even if it isnt currently crowded, could grow to be crowded & simply wish to pick & choose which options they have available at any given time. I believe that would be greatly appreciated in addition to an improvement in both UI & UX. Thoughts? That is true. Usually the purge all button may be used very often, so prolly we would like to keep the icon. Understood, thank you for everything! NP. Enjoy! Hey guys, I already appreciate your contribution on this issues very much. Thank you both! @hailite: If you need to keep the Purge All function in dashboard, Id find it the best solution to rather remove the icon and name the dropdown menu Empty Cache , which is more descriptive for the wp-dummy-enduser from my point of view. Cheers, Sascha
