 * Hi, I can’t save any PHP code with $_POST, $_SESSION etc. It just goes to a 404
   page when I try to save it. Anyone, know what the issue is? I’m guessing it’s
   WordPress messing with code submission?

 * Would you please cross check and let know that the issue persist only when the
   code contains $_POST, $_SESSION etc?

 * I could insert other basic PHP code like ‘echo’ and it saves fine but anything
   with $_ and it wouldn’t save it just goes to a 404 page.
 * Today the plugin is crashing WordPress so I had to deactivate it. I’m using WordPress
   6 and PHP 8

 * I can reproduce this,
 * <form action=”<?php home_url( $wp->request ) ?>” method=”POST” class=”enter-activity”
   >
    /// ya da yada ya da
 *     ```
       <select id="userID" name="userID">
                   <?php 
                   if ($user_info->roles[0] == "administrator"){
                         foreach ($users as $user) {
                           echo "<option value='$user->id'>$user->display_name</option>";
       ```
   
 * /// ya da yada ya da
 * $newActivityID = isset($_POST[‘userID’]);
 * This is a pretty a simple coding job that’s not working, very dissapointing
