  the error is:
  Warning: session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_kfcmkgqiq8p29qj908i6rpigb3, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in /opt/services-ux/v1.0/wp-content/themes/parallelus-vellum/extensions/contact-fields/inc/functions.php on line 3

  Can you tell me what i need to do to fix it? When i imported the XML file, alot of it failed. Could this be the issue?

  Most likely your session directory is not writable. You may need to set the path manually. Open your “php.ini” and check if “session.save_path” points to an existing, writable folder. In many servers this is the tmp directory.

  If you don’t know how to do this, you can contact your host and relay the error message to them. They should be able to modify the settings for you.
