Title: Getting session_start() errors Last modified: November 2, 2019 --- # Getting session_start() errors * [jamminjames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamminjames/) * (@jamminjames) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/) * I’m getting these warnings, triggered by wfu_loader.php, line 5. The line is: ` if( !session_id() ) { session_start(); }` …so apparently, there’s no session_id() being saved. * The warning says: E_WARNING: session_start(): Cannot start session when headers already sent …and it’s triggering every minute or so. * What can be done about this? * Thank you! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgetting-session_start-errors%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12089718) * Hi, how did you install the plugin? * Regards * Nickolas * Thread Starter [jamminjames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamminjames/) * (@jamminjames) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12090811) * Just via Add Plugins in admin, I believe. I am using an Uploader Instance, if that makes any difference, as detailed in my [other question here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-uploader-instance-getting-duplicate-images-in-different-folders/). * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12092552) * Open a plugin php file from the plugin’s directory (e.g. loader.php). Do you see any blank lines between each line of code? * Nickolas * Thread Starter [jamminjames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamminjames/) * (@jamminjames) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12092572) * wfu_loader.php has blank lines. * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12098163) * Ok, can you please re-install the plugin from the zip file? * These blank lines are created because your web server interprets end-line characters differently than the plugin. The plugin uses CRLF (\r\n) as end-line characters. Some systems treat these two characters separately, so they create an extra blank line after each line of code. However this is not a problem. * The problem is with the last line of the php file (?>). This must be the last line of a PHP file. However, due to the previous issue, the web server adds an extra blank like after ?>. This creates “headers already sent” message. * Try to re-install the plugin from the zip file. If it shows the same problem, let me know. * Nickolas * Thread Starter [jamminjames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamminjames/) * (@jamminjames) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12098318) * I have wp-file-upload-pro, but don’t have my login info for your site. I actually worked with you to get it working with NextGen Gallery, and you gave me the pro version but I don’t think I ever got login info. Tried doing a pw reset with the email address I probably would have used, [ht1@dcn.org](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/ht1@dcn.org?output_format=md), but it didn’t work. * Can you give me a login to get the pro version for reinstalling? * Thread Starter [jamminjames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamminjames/) * (@jamminjames) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12098323) * Meanwhile, I did install the regular version via the zip file, and the errors returned right away. (They stopped after uninstalling, until reinstalled.) * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12099626) * Can you send me the zip file at [nickboss@iptanus.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/nickboss@iptanus.com?output_format=md)? * Nickolas Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Getting session_start() errors’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-file-upload/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3252590) * [Iptanus File Upload](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/reviews/) ## Tags * [session_start](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/session_start/) * [Wordpress File Upload](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wordpress-file-upload/) * 8 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * Last activity: [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-session_start-errors/#post-12099626) * Status: not resolved
