Let's fix this error with our step-by-step solutions to help you resolve it and ensure the smooth operation of your WordPress site.

Understanding the Error:

The error message "Can NOT find LSCWP path for object cache initialization in /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php" suggests that the LiteSpeed Cache plugin is unable to locate the necessary path for object cache initialization. The LiteSpeed Cache plugin is a popular caching solution for WordPress websites, designed to improve loading times and enhance performance. When this error occurs, it can affect your site's caching functionality and overall speed.

Fixing the "Can NOT find LSCWP path for object cache initialization" Error:

Deactivate conflicting plugins

Incompatible or poorly coded plugins can wreak havoc on even the most well-managed websites! Temporarily disable all other caching-related plugins apart from Litespeed Web Server Cash Plugin (of course!)

Update LiteSpeed Cache Plugin

2. Go to "Plugins" ➡️ "Installed Plugins."
3. Locate the LiteSpeed Cache plugin and check if an update is available.
4. Click "Update Now" to install the latest version if an update is available.
5. After updating, clear your website's cache to ensure the changes take effect.
   
   

Check File Permissions

Another common culprit behind initialization problems is inadequate file permissions assigned by your hosting provider. Ensure that essential files and directories have the correct read, write, and execute permissions to avoid such errors from cropping up.

1. Access your website's root directory using an FTP/SFTP or cPanel/Hosting File Manager.
2. Navigate to "wp-content" and then "object-cache.php."
3. Right-click on the "object-cache.php" file and choose "File Permissions" or "Change Permissions."
4. Ensure the file permissions are set to 644 (rw-r--r--).
5. Save the changes and check if the error persists.
