Hi I have an issue with v1.4.5 this is the first instance of this plugin and I’m finding it very frustrating. It worked initially for a short while but suddenly started outputting this on every page. I have re-installed the plugin and lost all of my set up in an attempt to fix this.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_af3e42a81c84ca51d585bb294c93b688, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory.php on line 27

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory.php:27) in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory.php on line 27

what is this and how can i fix it?

I have WordPress 4.2.2

They are only warnings, so implement the code in the link above.

Hi Guust

Thanks for the quick reply. I have reviewed that code and implemented it but the errors remain on every single page of the site while the Geo directory plugin is active.

Is there more to it than an single line of code?

Thanks for taking the time to look in to this for me.

Hi,

sesstions folder not writable would be my best guess.

Please change permission to the /temp/ folder, or ask to your server admin to do it.

That should solve this.

Let us know,

Thanks

Hi

I did go through the temp permissions as part of another fix for an uploading issue with the media.
Are the sessions folder specific of just the normal tmp folder in the root. This folder already has 777 permission as well as 2 other tmp folders. And if they are specific, where are they likely located?

Hi Steve,

All the errors are caused by the first error, which is sessions are not working, i am not sure what hosting u are using but this is a basic thing that your host should be able to fix in no time.

If you are self hosted:
It is telling us the folder does not exist, you can use this code to check where it is checking
```
$foldername = session_save_path();
    if (is_writable($foldername)) {
        echo '<br>The Sessions folder is writable:'.$foldername;
    } else {
        echo '<br>The Sessions folder is not writable:'.$foldername;
    }
```
or you can pass FTP and we can have a look, but if you are paying for hosting tell them to get their finger out 🙂

Thanks,

Stiofan
