Hi,

I have a fully managed VPS. It's been running litespeed for a few years, with no issues. However, all that changed a few days ago, when the server was updated to 6.3.1. Since then I've had nothing but issues, with what seems to be, a 'stale' cache issue.

Server OS: AlmaLinux 9
PHP version: 8.2.25

All 5 of my sites are powered by Wordpress, and use the Litespeed plugin.

Previous to this 6.3.1 update, I'd make changes to styles sheets, add posts, pages, the whole kit and caboodle, and no stale browser issues.

But now... well what a nightmare!

Every time I update something, I have to use the "Purge All" option, as well as logout and clear the browser cache and saved files. This is the only way I can see the updated changed to my WP sites. It doesn't matter what browser I use, Chrome, Firefox, Opera. Unless I follow this routine every time, I seem to be getting a stale cache.

While all of my sites used WP, they're not all using the same plugins or themes. Aside from this, I still deactivated plugins, changed themes but the cache issue remains.

I'm sick of trying get my host's support to fix this - we're going around in circles and it's very frustrating.

Any idea as to what is causing this, and how to fix it?

All help, suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you.

Nothing happens without a reason. Since the last update of LSWS did not make any changes that could affect the cache behavior, this update can be ruled out as the cause. Therefore, you should consider which settings you changed in the cache plugin for WordPress. The most likely cause would be the purge settings. If you have further questions, use the plugin support in the WordPress forum, as this forum stopped supporting the cache plugin a very long time ago.

I'm a fan of "Spock" which means that when there is a problem, I try to think logically to solve it. Logic says that if you have the cache plugin disabled, nothing will be cached and if nothing is cached, how can the issue be solved if you purge the cache?! Or if you don't jump into the water, you can't get wet.

However, please use the plugin support in the WordPress forum, as the caching behavior is controlled by the plugin.

IDK if your purposely being difficult or your just wok up to a bad day, mate.
Seems you just skimmed my post. EG - saw WP and assumed X, Y and Z. Which is not the case.

If you don't want to assist that's fine but please don't make me out like I'm the problem, when you clearly didn't read my 'full message'.

I want to support you, but the information provided is not enough to support you adequately. I would need access to your WP backend and at least a URL to your website. The cache plugin support in the WordPress forum has the option to check your plugin configuration, so it is only logical that you ask the WP forum for support. In addition, and as already mentioned, the cache behavior is controlled by the respective cache plugin and not by the LiteSpeed web server.
