Login cookie issues without multiple applications

    Hi guys,

    Today I noticed that the _lscache_vary cookie is not created on every single page when I’m logged in. Because of that, I had to add the wp_swpm_in_use cookie in the Cache > Advanced > Login Cookie box, which is the cookie created by the Simple Membership plugin.

    I also confirm that I don’t have multiple web applications, so I don’t understand why there is a problem.

    A few questions:

    1. Why do you think this is happening? Maybe it’s because of OpenLiteSpeed?
    2. I already had the wp_swpm_in_use cookie in the Cache > Excludes > Do Not Cache Cookies box, but it didn’t solve this. The cookie was always created, but certain pages were still served from cache.
    3. What are the downsides of not having _lscache_vary as login cookie?

    I sent you the report number EGXGYWRN, if you need it.

    Thanks!

    please try , open a private window , log it in , and see , at this moment , if the cookie is set or not , and if set , what is the expiration time ?

    I feel maybe somethign deleted the cookie

    no , do not cache cookie mean no cache the page when this cookie is present, but if visitor comes in without that cookie exists , then it still getting cached page

    there could be other case that use _lscache_vary , not only the login cookie ,so ideally , should stick to it if possible

    Hi qtwrk,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I just tried what you said, and considering that now it’s 12:20PM (GMT+2), the cookie was created with this value: 2025-10-28T21:20:40.925Z

    The problem is that for some reason, random users see random pages cached, without the _lscache_vary cookie. And I don’t know how to troubleshoot this 🙁
