<p>We are having issues staying logged in to Craft (2.6). There was a plugin error which is what we thought was causing the issues, so we removed the sprout SEO plugin. However the error still persists. We keep getting kicked out, and sometimes the words 'unkown error' pop up. We have not bee able to load any new content due to this.</p>

<p>Please may you assist us urgently.</p>

My hunch is it's related to your session issues, but you can check your `craft/storage/runtime/logs` folder for the underlying error message.
