Changes not saving despite “Saved” message

munzir · 1:30PM

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In general, aggressive caching (especially server/object/cache layers) can cause WordPress to serve outdated data instead of the latest changes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,

Munzir
