 * 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?

 * Helllo there, I am experiencing sth similar: from 7.3 on, the CSS Combine function
   prevent the loading in head of the combined CSS, instead I only see loading the“
   litespeed-dummy.css” file even if in the FTP /wp-content/litespeed/css I can 
   see a proper (1) combined css file.
 * I tried to enable/disable/reset all the settings, and I was able to isolate the
   problem which is caused by the CSS Combine function.
 * Then I tried to exclude all the CSS file in my theme one-by-one, still the combined
   file is never loaded in HEAD in favor of the dummy one.
 * I will send the report from my staging environment where I kept LSC 7.3.0.1 for
   testing, while I rolled back to 7.2 on production for continuity.
 * thanks in advance!

 * Hi there,
 * Either me, I ‘m seeing that useless empty dummy stylesheet “#litespeed-cache-
   dummy-css”; even if I am using latest 7.6.1 and beta channel.
   So which is the
   fix from your side?I mean: I can quickly easily handle it using some patch code,
   but… why do I need to fix something that shouldn’t even be there? 🙂Cheers

   in English .
