 * Hello,
 * We are sorry you are having issues with the plugin.
 * To help us find the issue, can you please share your site’s System Status report?
   Also, can you check that the server isn’t misconfigured, since error message 
   mentions php72?
 * Kind regards,
   Marija

 * Hi Marija,
 * Thank you for the reply… I think you’re right about the misconfiguration. CPanel
   seemed to be set to use PHP 8.3 but there was a user.ini file referencing the
   php72 path for sessions. I’ve reset the PHP settings and overridden the session.
   save_path variable and we now don’t seem to be getting that error.
 * Thanks.

 * I am glad you were able to fix the issue, and thank you for sharing what worked
   for you!
