 * Hi,
    so I have this problem that I cannot save or change any LiteSpeed Cache 
   plugin settings. I change an option, and I hit Save. But after that when I reload
   my page, I still see the old settings.
 * I can save other settings inside my wp-admin area (for example I can change core
   WordPress settings or other plugins’ settings), but I cannot save the LiteSpeed
   Cache plugin settings at all.
 * So I can’t even turn on debug mode.
 * I read this support page, but it didn’t help: [https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/troubleshoot/#unable-to-save-changes-in-wp-admin](https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/troubleshoot/#unable-to-save-changes-in-wp-admin)
 * I checked and wp-admin isn’t cached, and I don’t have opcache, memcached and 
   redis enabled.
 * The weird thing is that on this same server I have another WordPress install 
   under a different domain name, with the exact same plugins, settings, and the
   LiteSpeed Cache plugin works there.
 * I tried to clear all browser cache and cookies. I have even tried it with another
   web browser, but I still cannot save settings.
 * WordPress version: 5.7.1
    LiteSpeed Cache version: 3.6.4 PHP version: PHP 7.4
 * In another thread I read this: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-are-not-saved-3/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/options-are-not-saved-3/)
 * > please try this :
   > 1. disable plugin
   > 2. go to phpmyadmin , search for “litespeed.conf” in wp_options tables
   > 3. delete all it finds
   > 4. re-enable the plugin , it will then re-create these deleted entries
 * I haven’t tried this yet, but I also use the Quic.cloud image optimazation, and
   I don’t want to lose the image optimization data because I have existing optimized
   images.
 * So what could I do?

 * So should I navigate to my wp_options table in phpmyadmin, then search for all
   rows which begins with litespeed.conf, then delete those rows while the plugin
   is deactivated?
 * I found 184 rows which begin with litespeed.conf in the wp_options table, for
   example:
 *     ```
       litespeed.conf.hash
       litespeed.conf.auto_upgrade
       litespeed.conf.api_key
       litespeed.conf.server_ip
       ```
   
 * etc.
 * should I delete all these 184 rows from the database, from the wp_options table,
   then re-active the plugin?
 * Are you sure it won’t delete my image optimization data?

 * Hi,
 * yes, please delete all these 184 rows
 * yes , disable plugin , delete rows , re-enable it , this will lost other settings,
   so you can export your current setting first , after you delete the rows , you
   can import it back if you want to get back your previous setting and refresh 
   the domain key.
 * yes, I am not sure it won’t delete img optm data , it’s stored in `wp_litespeed_img_optm`
   table
 * if you are really really so worried , you can just back up the database beforehand:)

 * Thanks for the quick support, it worked!
 * However it is strange, because as I mentioned, I have another WordPress install
   on this very same server, in the exact same cpanel account, under a different
   domain name. And on these 2 WordPress sites I have the exact same plugins with
   the same versions, and of course the configuration is the same, too, because 
   these sites are on the same server (same PHP settings). And one site works, while
   the another site had this issue (not able to save the plugin settings).
 * And many other users have reported this same issue already, as I browsed this
   support forum.
 * Seems like the LiteSpeed Cache plugin itself causes some corruption with the 
   stored settings in the wp_options table, and it somehow causes this weird bug
   that I cannot save any plugin settings.
 * Maybe could you mark this as a bug in the plugin?

 * Hi,
 * yes, I have been tracking this since case 1 , but sadly , we were unable to obtain
   a reliable way to reproduce it 🙁
 * until we can reproduce it , we can’t really investigate it how/why/what happened
   for this issue

 * Sadly I can’t reproduce it either.
    It just happened randomly. Maybe the problem
   is that somehow even if I save the settings, the plugin doesn’t actually update
   the database table with the updated settings, so that if I refresh the page, 
   I still see the old settings.

 * I still experience this bug on yet another domain.
 * Maybe the problem is that by default “Cache Wp-Admin” is set to “ON”. And maybe
   when you cache wp-admin, this can cause this behavior than I cannot save the 
   settings?
 * Are you sure that it is necessary to cache the wp-admin by default?
 * I think you should not cache the wp-admin by default, it can cause more harm 
   than good.
 * On another domain I set the “Cache Wp-Admin” to OFF, and now I don’t experience
   this error anymore. But first I had to delete the litespeed cache rows from the
   database.
 * I don’t see any reason why should we ever cache the wp-admin?

 * We stumbled upon the same problem. Litespeed is for some reason unable to show
   settings as they are saved in the database. It just shows defaults. Changing 
   any setting does update the setting in the database, but litespeed settings pages
   will still show the default settings after page reload.
 * After deleting all litespeed tables the problem went away.
