* Hi,
* I have this code below which i have saved in functions.php
* ```
function set_newuser_cookie() {
if (!isset($_COOKIE['sitename_newvisitor'])) {
setcookie('sitename_newvisitor', 1, time()+1209600, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false);
}
}
add_action( 'init', 'set_newuser_cookie');
```
* And then i have this code in index.php
* ```
Test af database
';
exit;
// header('Location: http://www.johnnylai.me/lotus/virksomhed');
}
else
{
echo '';
exit;
// header('Location: http://www.johnnylai.me/lotus/privat');
}
}
else
{
// echo 'Hello new visitor!';
// $cookieValue = $_COOKIE['sitename_newvisitor'];
}
?>
```
* Here is how it should work.
The first time the user comes into the site the
user clicks on one of the two links(left or right section) and a cookie is saved,
next time the same user comes to the site they goes directly to ‘privat’ or ‘
virksomhed’ depend on what they clicked the firt time. It works fine when i click
on ‘privat’, but not if i click on ‘virksomhed’
* Can anybody see what i’m missing in the code?
