 * Hi all
 * So not sure if this is a major issue, for some reason after pressing the UPDATE
   button inside elementor i get a 500 error, saying it cant save, so i check the
   debug log and find this.
 * [12-Feb-2019 22:00:15 UTC] PHP Warning: Unknown: open(/home/sites/autoprint.co.
   uk/tmp//sess_4t8frm6ae4pi54cl3dnlogg6n4, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory(
   2) in Unknown on line 0
    [12-Feb-2019 22:00:15 UTC] PHP Warning: Unknown: Failed
   to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.
   save_path is correct (/home/sites/autoprint.co.uk/tmp/) in Unknown on line 0
 * I’ve seen this before and sometimes its given me problems, sometimes it hasnt.
 * The strange thing is, even though i click the UPDATE button and get these 500
   errors, i can check the frontend webpage and everything has updated anyway, so
   thats why it doesnt seem too major, yet it cant be a good sign im getting these
   500 errors.
 * Its annoying more than anything, i mean i can still work and save my designs 
   but it would be nice to know what is causing it, it could be causing problems
   else where im unaware of.
 * Hope someone can help.

 * According to this doc, [https://docs.elementor.com/article/300-500-error-while-using-elementor](https://docs.elementor.com/article/300-500-error-while-using-elementor),
   it is mostly like a memory limit issue, but there are a few other possibilities.
   Hopefully one of the suggestions in that doc can get rid of your annoying problem.
   Good luck!
