How does the PHP session work in WordPress?
WordPress itself doesn’t use the session, it uses cookies, but if you use session_start or the $_SESSION variable you are using PHP sessions. There are plugins that change this behaviour, to make the sessions work over multiple servers by storing the session data in the database.
How to fix PHP session variables not persisting between page?
Check disk space with df -h on a linux server. The only answer for this problem is to use session_start (); on the top of every page. It will work fine. Else you might need to contact your hosting provider about this problem. In my case the solution was to have different parameter names in $_GET and $_SESSION.
Why is session _ start ( ) failing in PHP?
There are lots of reasons why this may be failing – typically PHP has flushed the headers before the call to session_start () (which may be due to UTF-8 BOM chars or just messy programming). Make sure you’ve got error reporting enabled. Make sure both pages are on the same domain.
Is it safe to use a session in WordPress?
WordPress and Sessions The WordPress platform is totally stateless and provides no support for the use of sessions outside of the cookie that keeps a user logged in. This is a very good policy and helps keep your blog light and responsive. Unfortunately there are times that a session might be convenient to hold some data between requests.
What should I do if my WordPress site starts too many sessions?
If your site is overly aggressively starting sessions, you should search through the codebase for references to session_start () or $_SESSION to see where it is happening and develop a workaround. If the code is in a community plugin, open an issue on WordPress.org to alert the author to the problem and share your solution.
