Title: Login Loop Problem Last modified: November 19, 2017 --- # Login Loop Problem * Resolved [hilmanfajrian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hilmanfajrian/) * (@hilmanfajrian) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/) * Hi, I desperately need help to fix login/redirect loop on my website that not being resolved more than a week. My website is Arkademi.com where the user has to login to see the class content. Everytime the user logging in (with user ID or social media account), login not succeded. LOGIN button still there. User has to move to another page to succeded and the Login button changed to their account. * I have uninstalled W3 total cache and disconnected from Cloudflare. Not fixed. So I assume the culprit is my server hosting cache. Hosting provider told me they are caching the server and askd me to install Litespeed Cache Plugin. I did what they asked. But the problem persists. Please visit my website above and give a try. * Please tell me what exactly my problem is and how to fix it. Thank you. * This is my Litespeed setting: * GENERAL Enable LiteSpeed Cache: ON * CACHE Cache Logged-in Users: OFF Cache Commenters: ON Cache REST API: ON Cache Login Page: ON Cache favicon.ico: ON Cache PHP Resources: ON Cache Mobile: OFF Browser Cache: OFF * CDN Enable CDC: OFF * ESI Enable ESI: OFF * My httaccess # BEGIN LSCACHE ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN – Do not edit the contents of this block! ## RewriteEngine on CacheLookup on RewriteRule .* – [E=Cache-Control:no-autoflush] RewriteRule min/\w+\.(css| js) – [E=cache-control:no-vary] * ### marker CACHE RESOURCE start ### RewriteRule wp-content/.*/[^/]*(responsive |css|js|dynamic|loader|fonts)\.php – [E=cache-control:max-age=3600] ### marker CACHE RESOURCE end ### * ### marker FAVICON start ### RewriteRule favicon\.ico$ – [E=cache-control:max- age=86400] ### marker FAVICON end ### * ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN – Do not edit the contents of this block! ## # END LSCACHE * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] * # END WordPress * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flogin-loop-problem%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Support [LiteSpeed Lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lclarke/) * (@lclarke) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9701837) * Hi, hilmanfajrian. * I’m sorry you’re having difficulty. * Have you tried it with **Cache Login Page** set to `OFF`? * I’m not sure if you’re going to find the answer in the plugin, if you had the problem before you installed it. If my above suggestion doesn’t work, it would be great if you could [create a ticket](https://store.litespeedtech.com/store/clientarea.php)( or send email to `bug@litespeedtech.com`) so we can troubleshoot at the server level, if necessary.

Here is my setting: – General > Enable Litespeed Cache: DISABLE – Cache > Cache Logged-in users: OFF – Cache > Browser Cache: OFF – Exclude > Do not Cache Roles: Instructor, Student * That’s all setting related to cache. I leave optimization setting to default. * Plugin Support [LiteSpeed Lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lclarke/) * (@lclarke) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9702538) * (deleted) - This reply was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by [LiteSpeed Lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lclarke/). * Plugin Support [LiteSpeed Lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lclarke/) * (@lclarke) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9702595) * Oh, please disregard my previous response. I misunderstood what you were saying. * The reason it works now is because you completely turned off the cache. * If you still want your pages to be cached, then you need to set **General > Enable LiteSpeed Cache** to `Enable`. * That will probably re-introduce the issue. Did you try what I suggested earlier? Set **Cache > Cache Login Page** to `OFF` and let me know what happens. * Thread Starter [hilmanfajrian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hilmanfajrian/) * (@hilmanfajrian) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9703150) * Yes. Login loop is fixed because of this setting: General > Enable LiteSpeed Cache > Disable * I think that setting is sending command to my Litespeed hosting server that caching by default not to cache my website. Is that right? * I won’t enable it because it creates the login loop on my website. * Yes, I did Cache > Cache Login Page > Off. But it didn’t work because (I think) the ‘Enable LiteSpeed Cache’ was Enable. * Here is my last httaccess that works. * # BEGIN LSCACHE ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN – Do not edit the contents of this block! ## RewriteEngine on CacheLookup on RewriteRule .*–[ E=Cache-Control:no-autoflush] RewriteRule min/\w+\.(css|js) – [E=cache-control: no-vary] * ## LITESPEED WP CACHE PLUGIN – Do not edit the contents of this block! ## # END LSCACHE # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] * # END WordPress * Plugin Support [LiteSpeed Lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lclarke/) * (@lclarke) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9703582) * If you do not want to cache your site at all, then yes. You can solve your problem by setting **General > Enable LiteSpeed Cache** to `Disable`. * If you are happy with that, we can mark this resolved. * If you _do_ want to cache your site, and you’d like to figure out why that login page is acting the way it does, please let us know, and we’ll try to help. * [arisgast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arisgast/) * (@arisgast) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9705548) * Hello, * I have the same issue after update from Version 1.4 to Version 1.6.3. * The users where login need to change page to show the correct page content. Otherwise they seem that they are not logged in * note: We redirect the user in the last page where was before logged in. So we haven’t a page to exclude from caching for users that just logged in. * Thank you. - This reply was modified 8 years, 4 months ago by [arisgast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arisgast/). * Thread Starter [hilmanfajrian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hilmanfajrian/) * (@hilmanfajrian) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9706025) * Hi, Lisa.

It has a login box that is changed to a “Welcome” message after the user logs in. I have managed to get it to work by changing 2 settings on the Cache tab. First, I set Cache Login Page to Off. Second, under Private Cached URIs I enter a single line of “/$”. This unfortunately means my home page isn’t publicly cached, but it seems like this combination works most consistently. * [arisgast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arisgast/) * (@arisgast) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/#post-9725441) * Hello, * Update to v1.6.4 didn’t resolve my issue. * Regards Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Login Loop Problem’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/litespeed-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2554181) * [LiteSpeed Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/litespeed-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/litespeed-cache/reviews/) ## Tags * [login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/login/) * [loop](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/loop/) * [redirect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/redirect/) * 16 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [Hai Zheng⚡](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hailite/) * Last activity: [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-loop-problem/page/2/#post-9741035) * Status: resolved
