Just simple PHP session handling:
$_SESSION['tessitura-session']['id'] = $sessionId;

Where $sessionId is a string etc…

If you navigate away from the site and come back the session remains. It is only when going off to the 3D Secure pages that it seems to clear.

@rogierlankhorst yes a PHP session, specifically:
$_SESSION[tessitura-session][id] which is what I need to process a function after successful 3DS clearance.

On returning to the site that whole session “tessitura-session” block is wiped.

When I disable the plugin, it is not wiped and the code runs as expected.

Hi @aahulsebos it is not PayPal it is Sage Pay that we are using. This uses 3D Secure (which takes you to your banks 3D Secure page, eg: https://secure4.arcot.com/acspage/cap) to authorise payment before returning to the site. That page is unique per bank I believe. The site this is on is: https://www.nationaltheatrewales.org and it relates to “quick donations” which can be started from the homepage under Quick Donate.

I have tried “safe mode” and it still failed.

Thanks.

It just needs an ability to be turned off – there are far too many plugins and themes that need the editor to remain as standard.

Going forward it can then be enabled once people have had the chance to test. Noting that some people just have 1 site, they don’t have the luxury of a staging or local site to test on. Enforcing such a massive update on what in a lot of cases is someones business is a big concern to me.

The more control people have, and the less it is enforced the more happy engagement there will be. Such as when U2 forced there album on iTunes users, it was not appreciated. Offer it for free and let people choose, it would have gone down a lot better.

Unfortunately I am unable to share any code as this site is a secret and I am unable to reveal anything about it. Helpful I know.

It is a custom parent theme – very basic and uses two plugins: ACF and Yoast SEO.

Totally agree, had no idea how bad it was, people need to be made aware

Its under “tools” in the main wordpress menu.

FYI you should post in support not reviews if you have a question ??

No it shouldn’t this is a review.

And in fact a direct quote from one of your team:

“Simon – OK, the plugin definitely wants to be in wp-content – it may be possible to go through and do a find-all for wp-content within the plugin files and replace them with whatever directory you’re going to use – but by default the plugin wants templates and such to be in wp-content.

Best,

Drew”

Would suggest that what I put is in fact correct. So I hope people take note of this and pick a better coded plugin for their needs.

Great stuff – thanks for that ??
