WordPress plugin does not seem to follow right permalink structure

  • I’m running a personal recipe website in WordPress sinds 2012. It’s in Dutch and called Mijnheer Eetpraat (“Mister FoodTalk”) at https://eetpraat.nl. When it started, I had to use https://eetpraat.nl/wordpress als the WordPress address and Site address. The WordPress permalink structure is https://eetpraat.nl/wordpress/index.php/%postname%/ for example https://eetpraat.nl/wordpress/index.php/falafel-recept-met-verse-kruiden/

    For SEO reasons, I have never changed the structure. Recently I moved the site to another host and updated WordPress to 6.6.2. The host uses litespeed servers, so I disabled my old caching plugins an installed the litespeed caching plugin v6.5.2. It works exceptionally fast, no problems there.

    However, I noticed my Redirection v5.5.0 plugin is suddenly logging many 404’s, for pages like /wordpress/falafel-recept-met-verse-kruiden?LSCWP_CTRL=before_optm with a source IP of the web server. It seems the Litespeed plugin is going trough my website over and over again, but not following the right structure as the “/index.php” in between is missing. I can’t find a setting to change this in the plugin.

    All pages work just fine when viewed in a browser or through Google Pagespeed (besides a console error caused by the latest version of my recipes plugin). Any ideas where to look?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    ?LSCWP_CTRL=before_optm is the parameter that LSC uses to see the page before ANY optimization is added. Links with that parameter should not used for redirection or in production.
    One thing is not clear for me: why Redirection plugin uses links containing ?LSCWP_CTRL=before_optm ?

    Do you have crawler active? That is the only place where request from server ip is done.
    Look over the sitemap content. It might be the place that links do not have index.php in them. If that is the problem, please fix the problem in sitemap provider plugin

    Also please provide a report key: create from LSC => Toolbox => Report

    Thanks!

    The Redirection plugin logs requests for pages that result in a 404 error, so that I can take action like for example make a redirection. In this case, I have not made any redirections, I’m just looking at the log and wondering what is going on.

    The Cache Crawler in the LiteSpeed plugin is disabled. My host does not have the crawler function enabled on the server for my tier. Could it be one of the CRON jobs that the LiteSpeed plugin is running?

    My sitemap is at https://eetpraat.nl/sitemap_index.xml and generated by Yoast. It contains the right structure for all pages.

    I’ve just sent you a report with key FONKKYAI, sent 10/25/2024 18:49:55. Thank you for looking into this.

    Additional information: I do think it’s the CRON jobs for generating UCSS en CCSS. If I edit some posts and then look at the queue for generating UCSS in de Litespeed plugin, it shows up in the queue as /wordpress/falafel-recept-met-verse-kruiden which is wrong. If I run the queue manually from the Litespeed plugin dashboard, I immediately get more of these 404’s in my log.

    okay , I think because when UCSS/CCSS saves queue , it strips the index.php

    I just tested , set permalink to page like /index.php/2024/10/17/fff/ , but UCSS list only shows 2024/10/17/fff/
