Body: <p>Our previously smooth running membership sign-up process failed leaving me scratching my head after a WP upgrade to 5.5.
  I had made some changes to the form at the same time and was blaming myself for a silly misconfiguration  rather than blaming the upgrade. Reverting to a back up that still had wp at 5.4 has solved the issue for now.
  Anybody seen similar, got a solution?</p>
  <p>Got this on the WP site health dashboard</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>An active PHP session was detected.</strong></p>
  <p>A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This
  interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be
  closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.</p>
