Description

Biscotti is a plugin that modifies the expiration of the logged in user cookie in WordPress to three months, six months, or one year. Because some people hate to have to keep entering their passwords.

WP-CLI Commands

As of version 2.1.0, Biscotti includes WP-CLI commands for managing a user’s logged in session cookie expiration.

biscotti get

This command returns the previously defined cookie expiration of a user.

Options

<user_id> — The ID of the user. 

biscotti set

This command sets the logged in session cookie expiration of a user.

Options

<user_id> — ID of the user.

<expiration> — New expiration duration. It must be one of the following values: `'3 months'`, `'6 months'`, `'1 year'`

Note

Please remember to replace the user_id and expiration placeholders with the actual user ID and desired expiration duration when running either of these commands.

Installation

To install this plugin, drop biscotti.php into your site’s wp-content/plugins directory and activate it.

FAQ

How do I work this thing?

Once the plugin has been activated, a new option will be available in the WordPress dashboard under “User -> Profile” called “Login Cookie Expiration”. There, you can select the cookie expiration date of 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year on a per-account basis.

After updating this setting, you will need to log out and back into WordPress for your new cookie expiration value to take effect.

Enjoy your long cookie!

This plugin really helped relieve me of my "WordPress keeps logging me out" frustration, I tried other options that promise the same features before finding this gem, and this is the BEST, SIMPLEST one! This plugin is of HUGE help and is CRUCIAL to my website, I don't know what I would've done without it! I appreciate you SO much, plugin author! Keep up the great work, I wish you the absolute best!

Forgot to escape the lone $_POST in my code. Feel dumb about it. Fixed now tho.
