 * The latest version of this plugin is now causing “An active PHP session was detected”
   critical error in WP’s site health checker with the following message:
 * A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes
   with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close()
   before making any HTTP requests.
 * Because of this, it also causes another error, “The REST API encountered an error”
   with the following message:
 * The REST API request failed due to an error.
    Error: cURL error 28: Operation
   timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (http_request_failed)
 * Deactivating this plugin resolves these critical error. This is on Siteground’s
   hosting system.
