See at a glance who your members are, when they last logged in and who is online right now. Edit user profiles with AJAX, browse the user list with filters and quick actions, and keep everything privacy-friendly and GDPR-ready. #### Member Directory * **Searchable user list** with filters, sorting and quick actions * **Frontend member directory** via the `[whoism_user_list]` shortcode * **Detailed member profiles** with custom avatars and AJAX inline editing #### User Activity & Who Is Online * **Login tracking and last-seen status** for every user * **Who is online** display for any page via the `[whoism_online]` shortcode * **Activity overview** that helps you spot inactive accounts and unusual logins #### Frontend Management Portal * **One central portal** for all settings, tools and user management – via the `[ whoism_manage_details]` shortcode on a private page * **AJAX profile editing** without page reloads * **Automatic page setup** – the Tools section creates all required pages for you #### Privacy & Performance * **GDPR-ready:** consent-aware tracking, cookie tools and data handling helpers * **Lightweight:** no page builder bloat, no external requests during normal operation * **Works with any theme** #### Shortcodes * `[whoism_user_list]` – searchable member directory * `[whoism_online]` – who is currently online * `[whoism_whoami]` – info about the logged-in user * `[whoism_manage_details]` – the administrator portal #### Pro & Add-ons The free version is a complete member directory and activity solution and does not expire. For advanced needs there are optional Pro extensions – including **ActivityLog**( extended security auditing) and **UserRoles** (advanced role management) – available at [einfachalles.at](https://einfachalles.at). ### External Services This plugin can interact with the following external services: 1. **WHOIS Lookup Services:** The plugin allows administrators to perform IP lookups via third-party providers such as [whois.com](https://whois.com). No data is sent automatically; a connection is only established when an administrator manually clicks a lookup link. ## Installation 1. Upload the `whoismember` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Use the Tool section in the management portal to create the necessary pages automatically. 4. Place the shortcode `[whoism_manage_details]` on a private page to access the administrator portal. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin track IP addresses? Yes, the plugin can log user IP addresses for security purposes. This feature is designed to be GDPR compliant and requires user consent if the tracking option is enabled in settings. ### How do I show who is online? Place the `[whoism_online]` shortcode on any page or widget area to display the users who are currently online. ### Can I use it as a staff or team directory? Yes. The member directory works for any kind of user base – communities, clubs, teams or staff listings – and can be filtered and searched. ### How do I display the member directory? You can use the `[whoism_user_list]` shortcode to show a searchable directory of your users on any page or post. ### Can I extend the functionality of the plugin? Yes. While the free version provides a complete suite for user management and tracking, users who require advanced security auditing can find optional Pro extensions at [einfachalles.at](https://einfachalles.at). ### Is the free version limited in time? No. WhoIsMember is fully functional and does not expire. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WhoIsMember – Member Directory, User Activity Log & Who Is Online” is open source software.

Aeltere Changelog-Eintraege nach changelog.txt rotiert. * Fix: Der User-Listen-Filter matchte seit dem Wildcard-Refactoring nur noch exakte Namen (verankerte Regex ^…$). Jetzt wieder Teilstring-Suche ueber Login, Anzeigename und E-Mail; ‘?’ bleibt als Ziffern-Platzhalter erhalten, Regex-Sonderzeichen aus der Eingabe werden escaped. * Neu: Sortierung der User-Liste per Klick auf die Spaltenkoepfe ID und Name (auf-/ absteigend, Whitelist-Parameter whoism_orderby/whoism_order, kombinierbar mit dem Filter). #### 2.5.33 * Annotated the apply_filters( ‘plugin_locale’, … ) call in the translation loader with phpcs:ignore — ‘plugin_locale’ is a WordPress core hook, so the PrefixAllGlobals hook-name warning is a false positive. #### 2.5.32 * i18n loader: switched from the discouraged load_plugin_textdomain() to a direct load_textdomain() call on ‘init’. The bundled /languages catalogs (German etc.) still load reliably, and Plugin Check no longer flags the discouraged function. #### 2.5.31 * English is now the plugin’s base language: all source strings converted DE->EN( canonical mapping from the existing en_US catalog plus 18 manual translations). * Translation catalogs re-keyed to English msgids; de_DE/de_AT now carry the German translation, en_US is identity, other locales joined via the original German key (untranslated entries fall back to English). * Added load_plugin_textdomain on ‘init’ and a Domain Path header so the bundled/ languages catalogs actually load (German users keep seeing German). * Translated the remaining German code comments; source is now fully English-commented. #### 2.5.30 * Zwei verbliebene deutsche Code-Kommentare uebersetzt (Aktivierungslogik, Frontend- Interaktion) – DEV-Quelle jetzt vollstaendig englisch kommentiert. Rein kosmetisch, keine funktionale Aenderung. #### 2.5.29 * Plugin Check (FREE) bereinigt: `suppress_filters => true` in der Template-Seitensuche auf `false` gesetzt (WPVIP-Error behoben). Drei Inline-Registrierungen (wp_register_style/ script) tragen jetzt eine Version (neue Konstante WHOISM_VERSION). Globale Schleifenvariablen in der Hauptdatei praefixiert ($whoism_file/$whoism_path). In 13 included Modul-/ Template-Partials ein file-scoped phpcs:disable fuer PrefixAllGlobals.NonPrefixedVariableFound gesetzt — die dort genutzten Variablen sind lokal/include-scoped und verschmutzen keinen geteilten globalen Namensraum. #### 2.5.28 * Sicherheit: Beim Duplizieren eines Benutzers werden Capability-, Rollen-, Level-, Session- und Settings-Metadaten nicht mehr mitkopiert (Schutz vor Rechte-Eskalation und Session-Uebernahme) – es werden nur Profil-/Kontaktdaten uebernommen. * Add-on-Seite: hartkodierte Plugin-Pfade entfernt – Aktivierung prueft jetzt ueber validate_plugin(), die Installations-Erkennung ueber get_plugins() statt eines festen Verzeichnispfads. #### 2.5.27 * Kommentar-Hygiene: 10 übersehene deutsche Code-Kommentare ins Englische übersetzt( u. a. in database.php, ajax-handlers.php, csv-import.php, json-import.php, setup- redirects.php, search-box.php, tools-page.php, user-data-prep.php). Reines Kommentar- Refactoring, kein Verhaltenseffekt. (Deutsche UI-Texte in Übersetzungs-Strings bleiben absichtlich erhalten.) #### 2.5.26 * Reviewer-Fix (Enqueue): Alle 10 inline /-Ausgaben wurden auf die WordPress-Enqueue- API umgestellt (wp_add_inline_script/style über zwei Helfer whoism_inline_js/ whoism_inline_css mit gemeinsamem Handle; Admin-Menü-CSS via admin_enqueue_scripts). Die Inhalte bleiben unverändert (per Output-Buffering eingefangen) – reine Auslieferung über die API, kein roher Tag mehr im Markup. #### Older versions The complete changelog is available in the plugin’s changelog.txt file. ## Meta * Version **2.5.34** * Last updated **11 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 5.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [member directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/member-directory/)[user activity](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/user-activity/) [user management](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/user-management/)[user profile](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/user-profile/) [who is online](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/who-is-online/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/whoismember/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
