If your recently published indexed post is deindexed after a few days and you think it’s affected by the LiteSpeed cache plugin, you are right. Sometimes, when you purge the cache, your Lightspeed plugin may delay or stop your cron jobs. Which is reflected in the Rank Math SEO plugin Error Log with a message –

That’s because WordPress’s auto-scheduler (called “cron”) is broken due to an error in LiteSpeed.

Steps To Resolve Cron Jobs Delay Affected By Lightspeed Cache Plugin

It’s really very much important to resolve this issue for Google to properly watch and index your post for a long time.

Step – 1. Add define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true); in Your wp-config.php file

So to do this first you have to add one line code in your config.php file which is given below –

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); 

✅ This stops WordPress from running cron jobs in a broken way.

Where to Add This Code,

In your wp-config file, you can add it just above the – “/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */” this line. (search this line ctrl + f ).

🧾 How to Reach File: wp-config.php

1. Login to your hosting file manager or use FTP (like FileZilla)
2. Open your WordPress root folder (usually public_html, or /htdocs)
3. Find and edit the file: wp-config.php

Step – 2. Set Up a Real Cron Job (The Right Way)

🌐 If you’re using cPanel:

1. Log in to your cPanel
2. Go to Cron Jobs
3. Add a new cron job:
   • Set time: */5 * * * * (every 5 minutes)
   • Command: bashCopyEditwget -q -O - https://theadmiralcasino.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

Here’s what should now happen:

After doing this you need to wait for a few days and check again your rankmath error logs if it was removed or not.
