It looks like an issue with PHP sessions, maybe due to a conflict with another plugin.
Can you go to NinjaFirewall > Dashboard, and check if you see a message saying that you are currently using PHP sessions?
If you see it, try this:
1. Create a empty file and name it ninjasession
2. Over FTP, upload that file inside the wp-content/nfwlog/ folder.
3. Go to the Site Health page and check if you still have the error.

Hi, and thanks for answer. I followed your procedure and it works well now.
1. Yes it seems I’m using PHP sessions as dashboard mentions: “You are using PHP sessions. If you want to switch to NinjaFirewall sessions, please consult our blog.”
2. I created and loaded an file ampty file “ninjasession” (w/o any termination) into wp-content/nfwlog and the site heathl is now OK.
I suppose I have to keep this empty file and the problem is solved.

Great thanks for your help.

One more question: if I let the empty file where it is, does it modify or block the working of NinjaFirewall?

The empty file is just a flag that tells the firewall to use its built-in sessions implementation, rather than PHP sessions.

OK, so NinjaFirewall is working well with empty file “flag”. We can close the topic.

Great thanks for your help.
