Use native PHP sessions and stay horizontally scalable. Better living through superior technology.
WordPress core does not use PHP sessions, but sometimes they are required by your use-case, a plugin or theme.
This plugin implements PHP's native session handlers, backed by the WordPress database. This allows plugins, themes, and custom code to safely use PHP $_SESSIONs in a distributed environment where PHP's default tempfile storage just won't work.
Note that primary development is on GitHub if you would like to contribute:
https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wp-native-php-sessions
- Upload to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
That's it!
The best way to contribute to the development of this plugin is by participating on the GitHub project:

Pull requests and issues are welcome!
You may notice there are two sets of tests running, on two different services:
- Travis CI runs the PHPUnit test suite.
- Circle CI runs the Behat test suite against a Pantheon site, to ensure the plugin's compatibility with the Pantheon platform.
Both of these test suites can be run locally, with a varying amount of setup.
PHPUnit requires the WordPress PHPUnit test suite, and access to a database with name wordpress_test. If you haven't already configured the test suite locally, you can run bash bin/install-wp-tests.sh wordpress_test root '' localhost.
Behat requires a Pantheon site. Once you've created the site, you'll need install Terminus, and set the TERMINUS_TOKEN, TERMINUS_SITE, and TERMINUS_ENV environment variables. Then, you can run ./bin/behat-prepare.sh to prepare the site for the test suite.
