Use of PHP sessions… and the ‘Uploader’ class

  • Hallo,

    Kindof two related questions here – we’re using a host that doesn’t support PHP sessions, due to their distributed caching layer. WordPress core and most plugins aren’t affected by this, but occasionally we come across a plugin that does make use of sessions.

    Invisible reCAPTCHA uses sessions in includes/WordPress/Uploader.php – in the get_user_id() function.

    I can’t tell what this class is used for and therefore what the impact would be if sessions aren’t working, which brings up a second question: what is the Uploader class for? I can’t see anything that Invisible reCAPTCHA would be uploading into WordPress, so I’m not sure why this class is there…

    Thanks in advance!
