 * I am looking into this now.

 * Hi [@edfoc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edfoc/),
 * It looks like you are using memcached on your server.
 * All that is happening on that line is that if a session does not exist, then 
   the plugin is starting a session:
 *     ```
       if(!session_id()) {
       session_start();
       }
       ```
   
 * That is a very normal thing for plugins to do. I am thinking this may be a problem
   with your memcached configuration.
 * Who is your hosting provider? Is this a custom server?
 * Thanks,
    Scott

 * tsohost.com and it is not a custom server

 * Hi, I had this problem and TSoHost set custom php.ini file which fixed this. 
   Just do this via their online chat. Hope that works for you too.
