4.0.3 Has a Big Problem

The plugin opens a php session without closing it. This interferes with the Wordpess Rest Api and other PHP cURL calls. This is PHP programming 101 stuff here.

Took deactivating all the plugins and manually adding them back to figure out that it was Simplybook’s plugin that was affecting our site.

Removed and site functioning not only as expected but much faster.

“A PHP Session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with the REST API and loopback requests. This session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.”

“The REST API request failed due to an error. Error: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (http_request_failed)”
