# WordPress database error Unknown column ‘secure_session_id’

 * I am seeing this error in my logs from the plugin hosted on Pantheon:
 * `WordPress database error Unknown column 'secure_session_id' in 'where clause'
   for query SELECT * FROM wp_pantheon_sessions WHERE secure_session_id=`
 * We are running plugin version 1.3.4 and WP 6.5.5 and PHP 8.2
 * Anyone seen this error? Could this be a compatibility issue as it only started
   happening recently after a PHP 8.2 update a month ago on Pantheon.

 * Hey [@marcpersad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcpersad/)
 * Thanks for the report. I’ve [copied it over](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wp-native-php-sessions/issues/290)
   to our GitHub repo so there’s visibility there. I don’t have an immediate answer
   for you but we will look into it. My first guess is that something that was maybe
   not yelling before PHP updated to 8.2 started yelling after the update, but I
   would need to do some testing to confirm. If it’s in the logs but not white-screening
   the site, I assume it’s not _breaking_ anything, but are you using the plugin
   to store sessions and are those sessions being stored still?
 * It also looks like you’re on the older version of the plugin — you might benefit
   from updating and running the `wp session add index` WP-CLI command (so `terminus
   wp <site>.<env> -- session add index` on Pantheon) to add indexes to the database
   tables used by the plugin. Docs here: [https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wp-native-php-sessions?tab=readme-ov-file#wp-pantheon-session-add-index](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wp-native-php-sessions?tab=readme-ov-file#wp-pantheon-session-add-index)
