    I have created a plugin to bypass the admin role but it does not work, admin still limited..

    here is the code I used:

    <?php
function pcl_bypass_roles( $user_id ) {
	$whitelist = array( 'administrator', 'editor' ); // Provide an array of roles to bypass
	$user      = get_userdata( $user_id );
	$roles     = empty( $user->roles ) ? array() : $user->roles;
	$intersect = array_intersect( $roles, $whitelist );

	if ( ! empty( $intersect ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	return true;
}
add_filter( 'pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins', 'pcl_bypass_roles' );

?>

    Hi Michael!

    Turns out there was a bug in my example code, sorry about that! I have updated the FAQ accordingly.

    Just update the $user line to:

    $user = get_user_by( 'id', absint( $user_id ) );

    updated my plugin to omit admins as follows

    function pcl_bypass_roles( $user_id ) {
	$whitelist = array( 'administrator', 'editor' ); // Provide an array of roles to bypass
	$user      = get_user_by( 'id', absint( $user_id ) );
	$roles     = empty( $user->roles ) ? array() : $user->roles;
	$intersect = array_intersect( $roles, $whitelist );

	if ( ! empty( $intersect ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	return true;
}
add_filter( 'pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins', 'pcl_bypass_roles' );

    once activated no one is limited any more not even subscribers.

    Hi Michael, looks like I forgot to add the first param.

    Please give this try:

    function pcl_bypass_roles( $prevent, $user_id ) {
    $whitelist = array( 'administrator', 'editor' ); // Provide an array of roles to bypass
    $user      = get_user_by( 'id', absint( $user_id ) );
    $roles     = empty( $user->roles ) ? array() : $user->roles;
    $intersect = array_intersect( $roles, $whitelist );

    if ( ! empty( $intersect ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $prevent;
}
add_filter( 'pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins', 'pcl_bypass_roles', 10, 2 );
