   WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart has a bug that breaks other plugins with PHP $_SESSION

   Problem confirmed with "Fast and Secure Contact Form" (where I am the author of)
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-contact-form/

   I have the fix:
   edit wp_shopping_cart.php
   remove:
   session_start();

   Find:
   

   function widget_wp_paypal_shopping_cart_init()
   {

   Replace with:
   

   function widget_wp_paypal_shopping_cart_init()
   {
     if( !isset( $_SESSION ) ) { // play nice with other plugins
       session_start();
     }

   Now it will play nice with other plugins with sessions.
   Any plugin that uses sessions should always check if a session was already started before starting one.

   The above change will break the functionality. If you want to do this change then do the following:

   search for the following line:

   session_start();

   and replace it with the following:

   if(!isset($_SESSION))
   {
   session_start();
   }
