 * This started appearing in the head…
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <link rel='stylesheet' id='litespeed-cache-dummy-css' href='/wp-content/plugins/litespeed-cache/assets/css/litespeed-dummy.css' media='all'>
       ```
   
 * How to get rid of it?

 * [@seanthompson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanthompson/) please send
   me a report ID
   This can be created from LSC => Toolbox => Report => click on “
   Send to Litespeed”and share just the IDWe tested a edge case that looks like 
   yours, but we might not cover all the cases. Having that report will help us 
   identify the problem

   I looked 
   over the report content and I tried setting it up on my test server.I used latest`
   master` version, from LSC => Toolbox => Beta Test, which is `v7.3.0.1-b2`
 * Try running `Purge all` and `Purge all - JS/CSS cache`

   I see you
   have different optimization plugin.2 things:– do you add some special code to
   disable LSC?– try this code in theme **functions.php**: `code deleted`

      Reason: I removed the code because that was not the optimal solution

 * I don’t have anything to disable LSC.
 * Why is that file enqueued in the first place?

   we are using
   it as placeholder to add optimization code

 * Why can’t you only enqueue it when it’s needed?

 * [@seanthompson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanthompson/) let’s try 
   one thing:
   – disable the other optimization plugin– clear cache and see if the
   css is removedJust temporary, to test what stops the plugin removing the dummy
   CSS

 * There’s nothing in that plugin that would affect it.
 * I would have to add to the plugin to disable it.

 * [@seanthompson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanthompson/) I think there
   is.
   But never mind, I figured out what the issue is.Version `7.3.0.1` will contain
   the fix
