Changes not saving despite “Saved” message

munzir

I’m currently facing a persistent issue with Betheme / WordPress:

Whenever I save changes (e.g. products, product categories, menus), I get the success message “Saved…”, but the changes are not actually applied. After reloading or revisiting the page, everything is back to the previous state.

Scope of the issue:

• WooCommerce products
• Product categories
• Navigation menus
• General content edits

What I already tried:

• Cleared browser and site cache
• Tested different browsers
• Logged out and back in

No visible errors, just silent failure to persist data.

Has anyone experienced something similar or identified the root cause?

Would appreciate any pointers before I start deeper debugging.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Please, turn off all of the plugins, refresh your cache, and check if the problem persists.

Moreover, if you use a child theme, switch to the parent, and recheck it.

Thanks

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your reply.

I was able to identify the root cause on my end — the issue seems to be related to LiteSpeed Cache (v7.8.0.1).

From what I’ve researched, this doesn’t seem to be an isolated case:

• There are documented cases where LiteSpeed caching prevents settings from being saved properly
• Similar issues have been reported where WordPress admin changes don’t persist when LiteSpeed is active
• In general, aggressive caching (especially server/object/cache layers) can cause WordPress to serve outdated data instead of the latest changes

Given this, I wanted to check with you:

Is this a known compatibility issue between Betheme and LiteSpeed Cache?

Or have you seen similar cases where LiteSpeed interferes with saving changes in the backend?

Would appreciate your input before I proceed with deeper configuration changes or exclusions.

Best,
