How can PHP sessions be effectively used in a Wordpress website to track visited pages?

To effectively track visited pages in a WordPress website using PHP sessions, you can create a session variable to store an array of visited page URLs. Each time a new page is visited, you can add the current page URL to the array. This way, you can keep track of the pages the user has visited during their session. 

// Start or resume a session
session_start();

// Check if the session variable for visited pages exists, if not, initialize it as an empty array
if (!isset($_SESSION['visited_pages'])) {
    $_SESSION['visited_pages'] = array();
}

// Get the current page URL
$current_page_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

// Add the current page URL to the visited pages array if it's not already in the array
if (!in_array($current_page_url, $_SESSION['visited_pages'])) {
    $_SESSION['visited_pages'][] = $current_page_url;
}
