 * Hello,
 * I’m building a custom theme and I’m trying to do the following:
 * – In my functions.php file I start a session on init
    – I’ve added a couple of
   values to $_SESSION – I’ve written a function and added it with a filter hook–
   I’m trying to get some $_SESSION variables inside the function
 * > I’m stuck getting the $_SESSION variables. Nothing I’ve tried seems to work.
   Does anybody have an idea what I’m doing wrong?
