Hi enfold-Team,
we have taken over a site running on v4.2. This version sets a PHPSESSID cookie. As far as I understand this cookie was removed in a later version somewhere around 2018 (as part of GDPR updates). I couldn’t find the exact version in changelog which removed the cookie though.
We don’t have time to update the site now fully to the latest version, we just need a hotfix for privacy for now.
I would really appreciate an information about
1. which version removed the PHP session cookie?
2. where I can download this old version which includes the fix?
Thanks very much in advance!
Best regards,
gugler
Hey Gugler,
Thanks for contacting us!
I have checked our change log however I could not find the version where the mentioned changes were made.
There have been some security improvements in the theme, most recently in 4.8, 4.8.2 and 4.8.4 so we would recommend you to update the theme to the latest version 5.1.1.
If that is not going to be possible for now, please let us know which old version you would like us to send you.
In the meantime, I will ask our devs in case they remember which exact version it was :)
Best regards,
Yigit
Hi Yigit,
thanks very much for reply!
Updating to the latest version is not possible currently (unfortunately).
I would be very grateful if you could a provide to an older updated version please.
Thanks!
Matthias
Hi Matthias,
Our devs said that we have not made such change and that it is needed for breadcrumbs and Masonry.
You can try adding following code to bottom of functions.php file of your child theme to disable the session cookie
add_theme_support( 'avia_no_session_support' );
Best regards,
Yigit
