    Hi, After the most recent update for the contact form plugin, I began getting – PHP sessions are broken on this server.

    I contacted my web host as the instructions for a fix stated about the proper temporary folder needed for PHP sessions.

    My web host looked at the info and emailed this response.

    Thank you for contacting us today. I am sending this email as a followup to our phone call in regards to your website contact form. After our higher tier of support finished reviewing this, it has been advised that the PHP sessions are running successfully, this would be something specific with this contact forms provider and developer. Unfortunately being that it is 3rd party coded we are not able to correct this issue.

    I’m am not sure how to properly add a temp PHP folder with proper permissions.

  • The plugin has gone trough some bug fixing in the last few versions since version 3.1.7 when I had to restructure the code to fix for compatibility with JetPack, SFC Like, and other plugins that modify “The content”.

    When version 3.1.7 came out, I had to require PHP sessions but it seems every 1 out of 3,000 users has a server with broken sessions.

    I worked almost all day today on a new approach to sessions that no longer uses PHP sessions, but an internal WP replacement. So hopefully the issue can be resolved for good.
    Will you test it?

    All you need to do is FTP to your server, and upload some files that I can send you.

    Fill out my support form and go ahead and ignore the donation request it asks for. Then I will send you the files to test.

    Thanks Mike,

    I sent you the info through your support form. Let me know if you got it… circumventing the donation request was a little tricky.

    Yes got it, thanks

    I released a new version 3.1.8, try it.
