Custom sidebars sending Cache-Control header

Hi Tim,

I hope you are well today.

The sessions are used to store the explain state and some other information.

If the plugin is working fine for you after deactivating the above code then it’s ok but if you are facing any issue with it then please share me your site link so that i can test the Cache-Control HTTP header on your site as i am not getting this on my test site.

Kind Regards,

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your reply.

I don’t think this is nginx related issue, i discussed it with the plugin developer and he said the session is needed on the Admin Dashboard only, not on the page itself, so we are going to add a condition as following to only use it there.

if ( ! session_id() && is_admin() ) {
	session_start();
}

The developer also said that it might be related to the PHP default setting for session-caching

http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-limiter.php

If session is enabled the default PHP session_cache_limiter is “nocache”

The user might solve the issue by inserting this line directly before session_start

session_cache_limiter('public');

Could you please try using the above solutions provided by the plugin developer?
