    Hi,

    When you say _ Even if the user is closing the browser without logging out, their login session exists for period of time – roughly how long is the period of time please ?

    Many thanks for the help

    If the “Remember Me” box is checked, WordPress will keep the user logged in for 14 days by default before forcing them to authenticate again. If “Remember Me” is not checked, 2 days.

    You can change that using, auth_cookie_expiration filter.

    Joel, so the problem we are having is a few users are reporting that they were on the website and logged off. This morning, they went to log-in and received the error message. Cleared cache and history, then tried again but still no luck. So, they were not able to access the site at all today. We can manually log them out but it’s often that we have to do this.

    Can we modify the plug in such that users are disconnected if they don’t use the site for X amount of time and/or that any connection is terminated if another user tries to log in. Make sense?

    That makes sense @nathancoffey. I will think about changing the login logic. Admin should be able to choose whether to allow new logins and logout old ones or to block new logins if the limit already reached.
