    My provider has upgraded the PHP version from 5.6 to 7.2 and on almost all pages I get this warning:

    Warning: session_set_save_handler(): Cannot change save handler when session is active in /customers/7/4/e/doskobeveren.be/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/wp-session-manager/vendor/ericmann/sessionz/php/Manager.php on line 133

    I installed the plugin “PHP Compatibility Checker” and I get these warnings and errors:

    Since these warning are from plugins, try:
    – If you have access to your Dashboard’s Plugins page, try deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If you don’t have access to your Dashboard’s Plugins page, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). Here is another tutorial: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/ – If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder (if you have created such folder). The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.

    Thanks very much t-p, it seems I had 2 plugins who caused the problem:
    WP Editor and WP Session Manager.

    I uninstalled WP Editor because I think I do not necessarily need it.
    WP Session Manager is now deactivated but I have some pages that are only accessible with username and password and now when login in to such a page, I get this:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/7/4/e/doskobeveren.be/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/wp-session-manager/vendor/ericmann/sessionz/php/Manager.php:133) in /customers/7/4/e/doskobeveren.be/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/phpexec.php(61) : eval()’d code on line 78

    and on each page:

    Warning: session_set_save_handler(): Cannot change save handler when session is active in /customers/7/4/e/doskobeveren.be/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/wp-session-manager/vendor/ericmann/sessionz/php/Manager.php on line 133

    But I can not login to my WordPress Dashboard either.

    In Chrome: I get “BLOCKED” and in Firefox: Warning: session_set_save_handler(): Cannot change save handler when session is active in /customers/7/4/e/doskobeveren.be/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/wp-session-manager/vendor/ericmann/sessionz/php/Manager.php on line 133 Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /customers/7/4/e/doskobeveren.be/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/wp-session-manager/vendor/ericmann/sessionz/php/Manager.php:133) in /customers/7/4/e/doskobeveren.be/httpd.www/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1219

    That warning is coming from wp-session-manager. Try deleting it.

    I deleted the plugin by FTP, I have access to the Dashboard.

    But can I reinstall the same plugin or do I have to look for another alternative, because I can not reach the pages that are only accessible with username and password?

    Thanks!

    Report the issue to at the plugins dedicated forum, and ask the plugin developers.
