    I am having an issue with LSCache and the WP Zero Spam plugin. Once an IP gets blocked, the WP Zero Spam blocking page is cached as the home page and served to other users. I guess it is missing a no-cache tag.

    Anyone has a solution for this issue?

    Hi,

    Well … I did a quick look on their doc

    but seems there is no filter we can use.

    Please kindly contact their support and ask them to do one of the following actions when user is blocked on their plugin

    do_action( 'litespeed_purge_post', $post_id );
//to purge the current page on blocking

    or 

    do_action( 'litespeed_control_set_nocache', 'nocache due to spam' );
//to set that page no-cache on that visitor

    Best regards,

    Thank you for the reply. For the time being, I decided to forego the WP Zero Spam plugin and use reCaptcha v3 for my contact page.

    More info here for those interested:

    Now interestingly, I am encountering another issue with OLS and LSCache where a publicly cached page is served to everyone, even my logged-in private session. This sounds very much like what was happening with the WP Zero Spam plugin, so maybe the plugin was not at fault after all.

    Something is wrong with OLS + LSCache. It’s happening for both of my sites. I am using OLS v1.7.5 (with Cyberpanel) and LSCache v3.5.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. It’s hard for me to understand how the cache engine can mix up private and public cache information.

    Adding that under /usr/local/lsws/cachedata, I only see a priv directory. I guess I was expecting a public directory too, but I don’t really know how OLS works.

    Any advice is welcome and will be appreciated 🙂
