 * Removed it by eliminating the session_start block from offending custom sidebars
   as an interim solution.

 * Hello [@payfast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/payfast/), I trust you are
   doing well today!
 * I can’t replicate the same warning on my site with WordPress 4.6.1 and Custom
   Sidebars 2.1.1.1.
 * The plugin might be conflicting with a theme activated on your site or with a
   cache plugin.
 * If this will happen again, can you replicate the same when only the Custom Sidebars
   plugin is activated?
 * Please let us know.
 * Kind regards,
    Nastia

 * I’m getting session errors too. These only began when I started work on a second
   website on the same server using Custom Sidebars plugin. If I open the problem
   site in another browser, the errors disappear, but if I then open both sites 
   in the new browser, the error appears. If I close and reopen the browser, the
   errors disappear until both sites are opened again.
 * Is this possibly an issue to do with both websites using the same tmp folder 
   for sessions?
 * Here’s my error:
 * Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_d5caf1de6f0f5d6d56d6da174e39df42, O_RDWR)
   failed: Permission denied (13) in /home/stjoseph/public_html/wp-content/plugins/
   custom-sidebars/inc/external/wpmu-lib/inc/class-thelib.php on line 145

 * Hello [@chrslcy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrslcy/), I trust you are
   doing well!
 * Per forums regulations please create a new thread. Based on the error, it sounds
   like your temporary folder isn’t writable by Custom Sidebars Pro, but why exactly
   is what we’ll have to find out.
 * Please run a quick check for a conflict with plugins on your site, and please
   let us know the results in a new thread.
 * Kind regards,
    Nastia
