Auto Purge Triggering Even When Disabled

    Hello LiteSpeed Team,

    I noticed something unusual with the Auto Purge behavior.

    Whenever I update a post, LiteSpeed shows the following notifications:

    • Communicated with Cloudflare successfully.
    • Notified Cloudflare to purge all successfully.
    • Purged all caches successfully.

    However, in the LiteSpeed Cache → Cache → Purge settings, I have unchecked all Auto Purge rules, including the options related to publishing or updating posts (as shown in the attached screenshot).

    Because of this, I have a couple of questions:

    1. Why is LiteSpeed still triggering a purge when a post is updated even though Auto Purge options are disabled?
    2. When the message says “Purged all caches successfully”, does this mean:
      • the entire site cache (site-wide) is being purged, or
      • only the specific post/page and related cache entries?

    For context, my site is connected to Cloudflare, which is why I also see the Cloudflare purge notification.

    I would appreciate clarification on how this purge is being triggered and whether this behavior is expected.

    Thank you for your help.

    Best regards.

    Hello,

    The issue is LiteSpeed cache automatically purges pages whenever I update a post or product, even though I have toggled off all settings for auto-purge on page/post updates.

    For reference, here is the relevant log triggered immediately after updating a post:

    03/09/26 09:31:59.051 [188.236.53.242:11287 1 nB6] 💓 ------POST HTTP/1.1 (HTTPS) /wp-admin/post.php
    03/09/26 09:31:59.051 [188.236.53.242:11287 1 nB6] HTTP_REFERER: https://rejuvenatingsets.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=3...
    03/09/26 09:31:59.051 [188.236.53.242:11287 1 nB6] X-LiteSpeed-Purge: public,stale,2a21_Po.35047,2a21_URL.eaf68411ed7f3178df240ea4b5326808,2a21_W.recent-posts-6,2a21_FD,2a21_REST

    As you can see, the X-LiteSpeed-Purge header is sent automatically when updating posts/products, which causes the purge regardless of the disabled auto-purge settings.

    Could you please advise why this POST request to /wp-admin/post.php triggers cache purging and how I can prevent it from purging when I update posts/products?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Best regards.
