 * Hi [@stormline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stormline/)…
 * It looks like one of your plugins is supplying an invalid file specification.
   What is expected is a path relative to the plugins folder. What is provided is
   a full URL.
 * [Deactivate all plugins](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-troubleshooting-wordpress-errors-step-by-step/)
   and the warnings should go away. Reactivate one plugin at a time, testing after
   each. When the warnings reappear, the last activated plugin is the cause.

 * [@stormline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stormline/) I never use Plesk
   so I will recommend, approach their support team so they can help you with this
   problem in a proper way.
 * I have found the below links. Maybe you find them helpful.

 * The `session.save_path` setting in your php.ini file is not within the directories
   specified in the `open_basedir` setting. You may be able to correct this by adding
   the following line to your wp-config.php file immediately after the DB_NAME/DB_USER/
   etc MySQL settings:
 * `ini_set('session.save_path', '/tmp');`
 * If that doesn’t work, remove the above line and edit the `open_basedir` setting
   in the php.ini file. This setting requires some knowledge of your system, so 
   you might want to ask your host to set it for you.
