 * You can create a plugin to do this or find one that already exists.
 * If you’re feeling dangerous, you could add it to your template, although that
   can cause a whole new mess of problems.
 * The code would be something like:
 *     ```
       function myplugin_cookie_expiration( $expiration, $user_id, $remember ) {
           return $remember ? $expiration : 600;
       }
       add_filter( 'auth_cookie_expiration', 'myplugin_cookie_expiration', 99, 3 );
       ```
   
 * Where 600 is the amount of time in milliseconds that you want before the session
   expires.
 * best of luck!

 * Take the backup of webroot directory and database.
 * Then install the plugins “configure-login-timeout” and increase the session time
   out,
