Native PHP Sessions

Description

This plugin allows WordPress to utilize PHP's native session handlers backed by the WordPress database. This is essential for scenarios where PHP's default tempfile storage is inadequate, especially in distributed environments.

By default, the session lifetime is set to 0, which means it lasts until the browser is closed. You can override this setting using the pantheon_session_expiration filter to customize session duration.

The plugin includes CLI commands for managing session tables, ensuring compatibility with multisite setups. It also provides troubleshooting tips for common session-related errors.
