DevKinsta is working well on Mac, but one thing I’ve noticed is that the WordPress session times out very quickly when editing something on site served locally. Is there a way to increase the default timeout for WP when running under DevKinsta?

Hi @rmw1221, Welcome to the Kinsta Community.

I am sorry to hear that you are having timeout issues with your local site.

I tested my local site running under DevKinsta and it isn’t timing out at all.

Can you please check if you have any PHP variables set on your wp-config.php that may affect this?

You can also set some PHP variables in the PHP.ini Editor in DevKinsta to increase the timeout session. Example below:

max_execution_time=600

You can do so by clicking DevKinsta → Sites → site name in question → click the wrench icon (on the left side) → scroll down and locate the “PHP.ini Editor” .

Please try it and let me know if you need further help or have other questions.
