 * I have had our hosting provider activate the litespeed crawler addon server side
   however the WARNING … “The crawler feature is not enabled on the LiteSpeed server.
   Please consult your server admin or hosting provider.” will not go away and the
   crawler will not work. They have asked that I contact you regarding this issue
   as they have done all they can their side.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcrawler-feature-is-not-enabled%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Your hosting provider seems not to have basic information how to enable the crawler
   in server configuration. You can do it by your own.
 * Add this to your .htaccess and look if it works.
 *     ```
       <IfModule Litespeed>
        CacheEngine on crawler
        </IfModule>
       ```

 * They can add it into the local apache config file but not into the main file 
   as I am on shared hosting. This might be the main issue

 * It doesn’t matter if you are on shared hosting. They should add it to **pre_main_global.
   conf** that will automatically be inlcuded to the global configuration file. 
   This is the way every provider does it and follows Apache method to add new configurations.
   With this nothing goes wrong!
