ESI not working

I’m having the exact same issue with shortcodes, widgets work, but not shortcodes, I just see the text when I put [esi at the start.

I believe that guide is out of date, but I also tried the one here:

https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/api/#generate-esi-block-url

Still doesn’t work, just gives an error when trying to use it in a shortcode.

I’m definitely using litespeed enterprise on cyberpanel, esi enabled in htaccess and everywhere I can find it in the webadmin console, still nothing.

Hi,

please provide the report number , you can get it in toolbox -> report -> click “send to LiteSpeed”

Best regards,

not meaning to hijack the thread, but as me and hellogerowsky have the same issue, maybe it’s the same cause and theres little point opening another thread right?, my report number:

Hi,

yeah , if you are using elementor…

there was a bug with ESI with elementor , you can try the latest dev branch

please go to toolbox -> beta test -> click “dev” and upgrade.

Best regards,

Thanks @qtwrk, I didn’t know elementor was breaking the shortcodes even on non-elementor pages :O

Using the latest dev branch fixes it for me!

Just out of interest, that php sammple hellogerowsky linked is completely outdated right? any chance you can get someone to put a warning message that the below code is out of date and no longer works or something with the new doc link at the top of that page? it’s plastered all over google search results and I spent hours trying to use that sample until I saw a post from you in another support thread that you now use applyfilters and not the class directly.

the code snippet on doc just works on me

wordpress 5.8.2 + LSCWP 4.4.5 + defualt Twenty Seventeen theme

I added this at end of header.php

<?php
echo apply_filters( 'litespeed_esi_url', 'my_esi_block', 'Custom ESI block' );
?>

then add

add_action( 'litespeed_esi_load-my_esi_block', 'my_esi_block_esi_load' );
function my_esi_block_esi_load()
{
do_action( 'litespeed_control_set_nocache' );
echo "Hello world".rand (1,99999);
}

into functions.php

now in my page I got

and refresh updates me that random number

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Here’s my support number: MIYNCXWY

I am not using Elementor but Oxygen Builder. Is there also a bug?

Hi,

which page is your shortcode located ?

Best regards,

It’s here:

https://kunst-aber-witzig.de/versandarten/

(sorry, hidden under the header)

I tried various shortcodes. This one is currently on this page:
[esi payment_methods_info]

(it outputs payment methods from another plugin)

emmm? wait a second , why do you want to do this to payment gateway ?

Actually: I don’t… at leat not in ESI, as the info is rather static:

It just outputs which payment methods are available.

I just used this shortcode to see if ESI works. I tried others, but everywhere is the same: it just writes the shortcode, but not executing it.

Might this be because I am using Oxygen Builder?
This is deactivating all plugins.

well , I have sent a request for a dev license to debug with oxygen builder, let’s see if they would help us : )

Hi,

okay , oxygen team has kindly provided me a dev license , which I have set up a site

in my case, the ESI shortcode just works

in backend , and

in front

how do I reproduce the issue ?

Best regards,

Great! Super nice of them. ??

However, I tried the exact same shortcode in the shortcode-element, but still: I get just the shortcode outputted as text.

Is there something I have to enable/disable in WP/LiteSpeed or on the server to make it work?

Hi,

please screenshot me how exactly did you set the shortcode

and also , please create a php file , name it like test.php , put it at same directory as your wp-config.php , with code

<?php
require( './wp-load.php' );

$esi_status = apply_filters( 'litespeed_esi_status', false );
var_dump($esi_status);

then access it by browser, see what it returns

Best regards,
