Thanks for your reply.

The instructions in the link did not help. In my case, this is not a server issue as I have 5 separate wordpress installations using different themes and plugins on the same server. None, other than your plugin cause the errors. I manage the server myself.

Upon further research, I came across 2 articles that helped. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-is-blocking-loopback-requests-in-wordpress/ and https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/the-loopback-request-to-your-site-failed-4/page/2/ . I modified accesspress-anonymous-post.php as per the 2nd article by replacing session_start() with:

session_start([
‘read_and_close’ => true,
]);

This made the site health check errors disappear and restored my ability to save posts from the backend as well as the frontend. Prior to this modification, I could only save posts from the accesspress anonymous post frontend editor.

I don’t imagine this is a complete fix and it may cause other issues which I am still evaluating. So far, the only issue I’ve encountered is the confirmation message when a user submits a post from the frontend does not work. This is a serious issue as it provides no user feedback, however, the frontend post submission itself does work as expected.

Hope that helps and hopefully the issue can be fully resolved in your next update.

This broke my site, at least my ability to make changes. I too use PHP inside of widgets. Nothing sensitive, just an include of some text or data from advanced custom fields. Worked great up until now.

I can understand having the error checker issue warnings, but it should not take over my ability to make my own decision on how to handle those warnings.
