If I want to use wordpress functions from an external app, I’d do as follows:
require_once('/path/to/wordpress/wp-load.php');
$isLoggedIn = is_user_logged_in();
This works without problems. But I would like to load wordpress from within a function. Something like this:
function wpIsUserLoggedIn()
{
global $wpdb; // Otherwise there are bunch of errors when including wp-load.php
require_once('/path/to/wordpress/wp-load.php');
return is_user_logged_in(); // Always returns false
}
In this case is_user_logged_in() always returns false. What am I missing? Is there a way to load WP from within a function?
