Description

WP Last Login records when each user signs in and surfaces it as a sortable column on the Users screen — so you can see who’s active, identify dormant accounts, and confirm that real people are coming back.

Features

  • Sortable “Last Login” column on the Users screen, including the network admin user list on multisite.
  • Hover any date to reveal the exact login time.
  • Captures logins via the standard wp_login action, so it works with any login flow that triggers it — including the Two Factor plugin, WooCommerce, BuddyBoss, and most social-login plugins.
  • Users without a recorded login show a neutral em-dash (—) — never a misleading “never” — and still sort correctly when ordered by last login.
  • Lightweight: one user meta key, no settings page, no extra database tables.
  • Filter hooks let you customize the date format or hide the column from non-admin roles.

Plugin Filter Hooks

wpll_current_user_can (boolean)

Whether the column is supposed to be shown.
Default: true

wpll_date_format (string)

The date format string for the date output.

Screenshots

  • Last login column in the user table.

Installation

  1. Download WP Last Login.
  2. Unzip the folder into the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

FAQ

Why does the column show an em-dash (—) for all my users?

The plugin records a login when a user signs in after it’s been activated. WordPress doesn’t store historical login data, so existing accounts will start populating their “Last Login” the next time each user logs in. Hovering the dash shows a tooltip explaining the same.

How do I change the date format or show the time?

The date follows your site’s general date format (Settings → General); the exact time appears on hover. To override the date format, use the wpll_date_format filter:

add_filter( 'wpll_date_format', function() {
    return 'Y-m-d H:i';
} );

How do I hide the column from non-admin users?

Filter wpll_current_user_can and return a capability check. Login tracking still happens — only column visibility is gated:

add_filter( 'wpll_current_user_can', function() {
    return current_user_can( 'manage_options' );
} );

Does it work with multisite, Two Factor, WooCommerce, BuddyBoss, or social login plugins?

Yes. The plugin hooks into WordPress’s standard wp_login action, so any login method that triggers it is captured. The Two Factor plugin (which interrupts wp_login) is supported via a dedicated hook.

What happens to my data if I deactivate the plugin?

Deactivating leaves stored login timestamps intact, so reactivating preserves history. Uninstalling (deleting the plugin entirely) removes all of the plugin’s user meta.

Very useful

Joris Le Blansch January 1, 2026
Simple, yet very useful plugin. Using it on dozens of sites I manage.

as perfect as simple

amiens80 October 4, 2024
this is the kind of plugin i love : just install, activated, no need setting, it runs fine! no need support. As an english person, i have no need to translate it at all. Great one ! Work fine on wp 6.6.2 and wp 6.6.1 ps : I would request another tiny feature : add the last ip of login date !

Works WP 6.5

flyingkites April 3, 2024
Switched to this plugin as another similar plugin by YooHoo was incompatible with TwoFactor. This works with both TwoFactor and Limit Login Attempts plugins. [Anyone who says it does not work likely has a code conflict with another plugin]

Excellent + now compatible with Two Factor

DigitalGdn December 27, 2023
Well maintained plugin. This is the only ‘last login’ plugin I have found that supports two factor.

Doesn’t work, sadly

editorialteamnwu January 30, 2023
Totally useless: every user is listed as never having logged in, even the one I’m currently logged in as to view this. Two stars instead of one because at least it didn’t seem to break anything.

Is not reliable

It shows users as Login “Never” even the users have been logged in. I decided on this information to delete users! Good luck, I had an early backup of the database! Do not trust in this Plugin!
