There you have it: “Failed to write session data”.

Your server cannot start a session because the path …/htdocs/cgi-bin/tmp/ is either read-only or it does not exist.

You should get help from your webhosting provider to set the “session.save_path” in your php.ini file to a writable directory.

I installed the latest version of GOTMLS, and it is not showing up on the site. A little background: Both Wordfence and an older version of GOTMLS were installed but not activated on the site. I activated Wordfence, and the entire site disappeared. I then deleted the Wordfence plugin through FTP. I also then deleted an older version of GOTMLS through FTP, which had to be done this way because it wasn’t showing up on the site. I then installed the latest version of GOTMLS and it’s not showing up either. Any advice or expertise on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I installed the latest version of GOTMLS, and it is not showing up on the site.

I’m not sure how you installed it but if you used the standard method in the admin (/wp-admin/plugin-install.php) and it is successfully installing a gotmls folder into /wp-content/plugins/ then it should show up in you list of plugins.

I activated Wordfence, and the entire site disappeared.

Did this get fixed when you deleted Wordfence?

I also then deleted an older version of GOTMLS through FTP, which had to be done this way because it wasn’t showing up on the site.

If you are sure that there is no gotmls folder in the plugins directory, and then you install it through the “Add New” method in the plugins admin page, can you confirm that it creates the gotmls folder in the correct path and that there are no errors from the WordPress Plugin Installer?
