Just today I start getting a warning pop-up that reads – **Warning: init_set(): Session ini settings cannot be changed when a session is active in elFinderSession.php line 65** whenever i perform any action in the file manager. How do 8I fix it please? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwarning-init_set-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Support [Bruce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ninjateamwp/) * (@ninjateamwp) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-init_set-error/#post-15754467) * Hi [@whaletb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whaletb/) , * Thanks for coming today, I am glad you loved Filester 😉 Let me get this across to the dev unit and feed you back soon. * Kind regards, -Bruce- * [Rose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rosewp/) * (@rosewp) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-init_set-error/#post-15754971) * Hi [@whaletb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whaletb/), * It may conflict with the plugin on your site, please deactivate all of them( except Filester). Then activate one by one and check again to find which plugin is conflicting with our plugin. * Cheers, Rose * [John316](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john316/) * (@john316) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-init_set-error/#post-15757760) * No conflicting plugins. * [John316](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john316/) * (@john316) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-init_set-error/#post-15757821) * Can you make available the version prior to the update? * Plugin Support [Bruce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ninjateamwp/) * (@ninjateamwp) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-init_set-error/#post-15757829) * Hi [@john316](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john316/) , * Sorry, but I do not have that version.

After upgrading to 1.7.5, I get Warning: init_set(): Session ini settings cannot be changed when a session is active in elFinderSession.php line 65 * After downgrading back to 1.7.4, the warning is gone. * [steve49589](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steve49589/) * (@steve49589) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-init_set-error/#post-15761675) * Just as a follow-on comment. I’m having the same error come up. It does not seem to cause any issues that I can see in my live websites. * `WARNING: ini_set(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini setting at this time in elFinderSession.php line 65` * Also tried in a completely clean install with no other plugins active and had the same issue when navigating through the folders via Filester. * Happy to hear an update is coming. * [lchenet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lchenet/) * (@lchenet) * [3 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-init_set-error/#post-15766999) * Hi to you all.
