WordPress will allow only these Variables:-

'GLOBALS', '_GET', '_POST', '_COOKIE', '_REQUEST', '_SERVER', '_ENV', '_FILES'

wp_unregister_GLOBALS this function will reset your SESSION for some security reason. you can find this function in WordPress Package (File:- wp-includes/load.php)

You can find Documents Here.

So, If you want to use SESSION than you need to use plugin for allow SESSION variable to use.

Hope it will help you.

Place this code in your functions.php file

function ses_init() {
   if (!session_id())
   session_start();
}
add_action('init','ses_init');
