 * The “Site Health” has detected 1 critical error.
   A PHP session is created by 
   calling the session_start() function. This interferes with the REST API and callback
   requests. The session should be closed with session_write_close() before making
   any HTTP requests.Error is in file dqa.php:/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cleverwise-
   daily-quotes/dqa.phpIf I’m not mistaken (please check), the solution could be
   this…Find strings:`function boot_session() { session_start();}And replace with:
   function boot_session() { session_start([ 'cookie_lifetime' => 86400, 'read_and_close'
   => true,]);}More on: [https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/377483/site-health-an-active-php-session-was-detected](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/377483/site-health-an-active-php-session-was-detected)

 * The problem is that with this change, editing daily-quotes doesn’t work, until
   the original file dqa.php is uploaded.
