Hello Geo,

I have searched high and low in these forums so apologies if this is a repeat question. We are unable to cache our pages as a result which greatly hampers site performance. This is due to Geo using session cookies.

I have seen your proposed solution of adding:
if ( !defined( ‘GEODIR_USE_PHP_SESSIONS’ ) ) {
define( ‘GEODIR_USE_PHP_SESSIONS’, false );
}

to wp-config.php but then the PHPSESSID cookie is simply replaced by a geodir_wp_session cookie. How can we disable that one as well?

Thanks!

Have a look here for correct caching settings and the best caching plugins:

Thanks

This is really a question to direct to your host, in the case of session issues and fallout that might effect your cookies.

That said, if the developers know of a fix they will get back to you here and let you know.

Wordpress sessions are handled by Pantheon (a host, to serve as an example) with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-native-php-sessions/

I am not saying this is a solution for your case, but pointing to the fact that WP sessions for high performance sites are a known issue and that it is appropriate territory for evaluation of the host.

Hello Metro,

If you disable geodir_wp_session as well then GeoDirectory features will not works as expected.

BTW which caching system you are using? are you caching pages via server or via WordPress plugin?
