I’ve experienced the same thing yesterday, after updating some plugins. Switching from Memcached to Redis solved the problem for now. The server is Litespeed.

Good point @hugodebe: I’m on Litespeed too.
I deactivated the plugin for now, let’s hope a fix won’t take too long.

I’d say the lack of replies for such a critical issue that wipes your WordPress config file is not exactly reassuring… At least acknowledge the problem.

Hi @koandj,
We haven’t received similar reports from other users regarding this issue. To help us investigate further, could you please provide the following details:
• The version of the plugin you’re currently using
• Any relevant error logs from your site (you can share them via Pastebin or a similar tool)
Once we have this information, we’ll look into it on our end.
Best regards,

Hi @kushnamdev
There is one other person who replied right after I first posted. It’s happened at the same time to both of us, so something must have happened.
The version is 5.0.9
Where should I be looking for the error log you need? Obviously, I cannot screenshot wp-config.php now because I restored a functioning backup. And your plugin is deactivated so if there was a log there, I can’t access it because reactivating may cause the issue again. Where should I be looking?

Somehow this got marked “resolved”, it isn’t yet.

You can download the logs from here – https://vertis.d.pr/i/9alToe or you can share a PHP log from your hosting provider. If you are not sure how to obtain it, you can ask your hosting provider as well.

I couldn’t risk blowing up the site again during this period so I only re-enabled your plugin now. I’ll monitor the situation and let you know

Being monitoring for the past 4 days and it has not happened again to the same extent, there are only 2 lines of “// Added by WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache” but it has not wiped wp_config.php so far as it did when I opened the ticket
