- Delete session files – Navigate to your Joomla website’s /tmp folder and delete all the session files.
- Check user authentication – Make sure that the user authentication is working correctly by logging in and out of the Joomla administrator area.
- Disable third-party extensions – If the error persists, disable any third-party extensions that you may have installed and see if that fixes the issue.
