Plugin settings disabled but caching still working

    Hi,
    I have OpenLiteSpeed installed on my Ubuntu 18 server, I have the LiteSpeed Cache plugin installed but with all Cache Control Settings set to off, so the plugin is activated but not enabled. However, even with all of the Cache Control Settings all set to ‘off’ the caching is functioning on my site, if I disable the LiteSpeed Cache plugin then the caching stops working.

    The problem is that it makes no difference whether I set the “Enable Cache” setting to ‘On’ or ‘Off’ in the Cache Control Settings, the cache function is always working, so I am unable to use any features such as excluding specific URLs from caching or excluding REST API calls from being cached.

    Does anyone have an idea of what could be the cause?

    Hi,

    Could you please check in HTTP response header ? once you disable the cache , what does it return ?

    also make sure Cache -> Purge -> Serve Stale is set to OFF

    Hi,
    Herein lies the problem, the cache *is* disabled, all of the plugin settings are set to ‘off’. Yet, the pages served up are definitely being cached and delivered from the cache:

    x-litespeed-cache: hit

    Here are screenshots of my plugin settings:

    Cache Off
    Cache Purge off

    Hi,

    OK , if you are using OpenLiteSpeed, please try restart OLS

    if that still not work , please run rm -rf /usr/local/lsws/cachedata/*

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I’m afraid neither of those made a difference. It cleared the cache but it’s back again as soon as I view a page. Basically none of the plugin settings seem to do anything, if I deactivate the plugin it stops caching but just activating the plugin but with cache settings to off it still just caches everything.

    Hi,
    Just marking this issue as resolved now. The fix here was to de-activate and delete the plugin and then flush all of the LiteSpeed options from the wp_options table in the database, then reinstalling the plugin. Doing that seemed to do the trick.
