Community Q&A
Why are my Elementor changes not showing up with LiteSpeed Cache?
This is usually due to cached CSS or page caching. To fix this, purge the LiteSpeed cache, regenerate CSS in Elementor > Tools, and temporarily enable Cloudflare Developer Mode if using a CDN.
How do I fix a broken header or layout in Elementor after an update?
Go to Elementor > Tools and click ‘Regenerate Files & Data’, then clear all LiteSpeed server caches and your browser cache.
Do I need a separate database optimization plugin if I use LiteSpeed Cache?
No, LiteSpeed Cache has built-in database cleanup tools for revisions, drafts, and transients, making external DB optimization plugins redundant.
