    Hi Scott,

    A site I’m working on has issues with php session file locks due to some other not so great plugins. The following plugin has worked well for me in the past moving php sessions into the database, however its not compatible with WP-SpamShield due to the php –
    /wp-spamshield/js/jscripts.php

    Any thoughts on future compatibility with this?

    Thanks

    Hi rperrett,

    I have to say, I’m not a huge fan of moving PHP Sessions to the DB…that right there is a performance killer. I mean…brutal. It’s far better IMO to move them into memory (memcached, shared memory, etc) instead if you need an alternate PHP session handler. So, SO much faster!!

    That being said, it’s your choice. ?? To use that plugin, you should have no problem with WP-SpamShield if you turn on Compatibility Mode. It will make some changes to how the plugin functions and not use the jscripts.php file.

    Instructions for implementation and full info can be found on the Configuring Advanced Features page.

    Hope that helps! Let me know how it works out for you.

    – Scott
