Check if user is logged in when using wordpress together with slim framework?

Question

i have installed slim under my wordpress root under wordpressroot/japi/

all calls that go there are dealt with by slim framework v3 . So are not visible to wordpress

Now I want to provide some admin functions where I have to get the current user id eg with: get_current_user_id() but i get returned 0 all the time. Is there a fix to this? do i have to call some sort of wordpress init function to be able to access these functions?

Answer 1

You can require the wordpress framework if you put this where you init the slim framework.

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( path-to-wp-root . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

This way it will load the wordpress framework, without initing the templates. Then you can use any wordpress function you need.

Answer 2

I think i accessed the login page using https, then tried to access my slimframework over http? i think that was the mistake.

btw import you wp-load.php in your slim index to get access to the functions
