<\/a><\/p>\nWelcome to another installment of WordPress Wednesday<\/a>! Disclaimer<\/strong>: The information contained in this post is accurate for LSCWP v2.2.0.1 [release log<\/a>]. If you are using a newer version of the plugin, some details may have changed. Please refer to our wiki<\/a> for the latest!<\/em><\/p>\n If you are wondering if a particular plugin is compatible with LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress, this guide can help you figure it out. We’ve tried to make these instructions as easy to understand as possible. You don’t need to be a developer<\/strong> in order to test for compatibility between two plugins. (Although, if you are<\/em> a developer, you might find our article about the LSCache API<\/a> to be more your speed.)<\/p>\n NOTE<\/strong>: While you could<\/em> perform these tests on a production site, we recommend using a test WordPress installation if you have one. This allows you to really take your time, and follow the steps carefully. Testing compatibility is not hard<\/em>, per se, but it can be time-consuming. If you have to effectively take your production environment offline for the duration of the test, that can add pressure you don\u2019t need!<\/p>\n You may not have to do a test at all!<\/p>\n If you didn’t find any answers with the previous two ideas, not to worry. The vast majority of plugins is compatible with LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress<\/strong>.Here are a few rules-of-thumb. The plugin you want to test is probably compatible if:<\/p>\n If the plugin generates or manipulates site content, it still<\/em> may be compatible if:<\/p>\n If you’re still not sure, you’ll need to test for compatibility.<\/p>\n Since it’s cumbersome to keep saying \u201cthe plugin you want to test,\u201d let’s call it \u201cMyPlugin\u201d for this example.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to test for compatibility, we\u2019ll first deactivate all plugins with the exception of LiteSpeed Cache. Then we\u2019ll verify the LiteSpeed Cache is working. Once we\u2019ve determined that it is, we\u2019ll activate MyPlugin, and run through some basic scenarios, checking that the site looks and works as expected all along the way.<\/p>\n NOTE<\/strong>: If you suspect that your theme may be conflicting with LiteSpeed Cache, it\u2019s best to temporarily switch to a different theme for testing purposes. Try the WordPress Twenty Seventeen theme, which we know to be 100% compatible: Navigate to Appearance > Themes<\/strong>, hover over the Twenty Seventeen card, and press the Activate<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n Deactivate all plugins except for LSCache. Here’s how:<\/p>\n From the WordPress Dashboard, navigate to Plugins<\/strong>, and click the checkbox next to the Plugins<\/strong> column as shown. All of the plugins will be checked. Un-check the box next to LiteSpeed Cache. Select In whichever environment you are using (test or production), before activating MyPlugin, you should verify that LSCache for WordPress is working as desired. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n These headings mean that the page has not yet been cached, but that LiteSpeed has now stored it for future use.<\/li>\n Now that you know that LSCWP works for you on its own, it\u2019s time to try it with MyPlugin.<\/p>\n Activate MyPlugin: Navigate to Plugins<\/strong>, locate MyPlugin in the list, and click the Purge the cache: Navigate to LiteSpeed Cache > Manage > Purge<\/strong> and press the Purge All<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n This step varies, depending on how you use MyPlugin, and what it needs to be able to do. Run through your most common scenarios, and after each step, verify that MyPlugin is working as expected.<\/p>\n If MyPlugin deals with any private information, run the through the steps twice: once logged-in, and once in incognito mode. When you visit the site incognito, be sure that you are not seeing any private information from your previous logged-in session.<\/p>\n If you encounter an issue that indicates the plugins are not working well together, document it. Take a screenshot, or copy the text of any error messages you may get. Visit the LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress support forum<\/a> and share as many details as possible, including the above screenshots.<\/p>\n It\u2019s always helpful to include a copy of your Environment Report so that the support team can see your system settings. To do so, navigate to LiteSpeed Cache > Report <\/strong>and click the Send to LiteSpeed<\/strong> button. Then make note of the Report Numbe<\/strong>r and include it with your forum post.<\/p>\n Once you are satisfied that everything works well, or you have documented and reported anything that doesn’t, you may re-activate all of the plugins, and restore your preferred theme.<\/p>\n Sometimes the plugins all get along well, but there is something unexpected happening in the theme.<\/p>\n To test theme compatibility, follow the same steps as above, with the following differences:<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Have some of your own ideas for future WordPress Wednesday<\/a> topics?
