drop query string, use cookie instead

The issue is related to crawler by cookies, yes? https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/crawler/#cookie-simulation

I don’t think you can do thing this way.

when you set a drop query string, then it will no longer be treated as separated URI

for example by default

/something/
/something/?currency=XXX
/something/?currency=YYY
/something/?currency=ZZZ

this is 4 caches

when you drop it , these 4 URIs will hit same cache , instead of 4

and in the cache /something/ is cached already , then ?currency= will be dropped , won’t trigger PHP anymore , so it displays /something/ content , in your case, the default USD currency

ok, i just removed the cookie simulation. Under cache>advance, I have also left it blank under login cookie and cache vary. When I visit my htacess file, it says the following:

marker LOGIN COOKIE start

RewriteRule .? – [E=”Cache-Vary:,wp-postpass_2cdc91481948393ac7cf30292d6e21d2,wmc_current_currency,wmc_current_currency_old,wmc_ip_info”] marker LOGIN COOKIE end

I try to edit the htacess file by deleting “RewriteRule .? – [E=”Cache-Vary:,wp-postpass_2cdc91481948393ac7cf30292d6e21d2,wmc_current_currency,wmc_current_currency_old,wmc_ip_info”] ” but it seems on coming back up. Not sure what this is for.

I will also like to add that under database wp_options, there is this litespeed.conf.cache-login_cookie with no option_value and autoload is set to yes.

manually remove won’t work , it will add back by whoever adds it in the first place, you may need to figure out what add it first , otherwise each time you click “save” button in plugin , it will regenerate

if not showing in database, that means some plugin called our API for cookie vary

I am reading this article regarding on cache vary settings from cache>advance

https://gitlab.litespeedtech.com/preview/lscache/vary/index.html#:~:text=VARY%20%3D%20VARY_COOKIE%20%2B%20VARY_VALUE-,Vary%20Cookie,vary%20on%20the%20cookie%20my_cookie%20.

“The Cache Vary is an important concept for caching. For simplicity’s sake, the idea behind cache varies is that they allow the cache to save multiple versions of the same URL.”

Under the field vary cookies, do I enter this:

VARY = "wmc_current_currrency=USD"

Or

wmc_current_currency

I’d suggest just put

RewriteRule .? - [E=Cache-Vary:my_cookie]

at top of your .htaccess , the field you mentioned was meant for login-vary
