I have an issue with a WordPress session. I have a file 'test.php' that is used post a variable to a WordPress site. It has the condition: "if the session variable is set then the user can access the whole WordPress site, and if the session variable is not set then user can't access the site".
When I post the variable to the WordPress site using test.php the homepage works fine, but when I access inner pages like 'xyz.com/contact' I get an error Not Access
which means that the session variable was cleared on the next page.
Here is the test.php file:
<form action="wordpress-site-link" method="POST">
<input type="submit" name="var" value="go"/>
</form>
In the file themes/theme-name/header.php I wrote this code:
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['var'])) {
echo 'Welcome';
} else if(isset($_POST['var'])) {
$_SESSION['var'] = $_POST['var'];
} else {
echo 'No access...';
exit;
}
