Idle User Logout

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 63% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   It just works! Simple and easy to use! Just tested it with WordPress 6.7.1. After a lot of searching and finding plugins that log you with just simply reducing the session timeout and others that don’t log you out even if idle for hours, I am glad that I found this plugin! Just does what I needed!

   It’s simple, effective and works beautifully in 2020. Love that I can set it for specific roles and leave others. Cross site attacks (xss) that steal cookies to hack into WordPress is a very common problem. It’s the number 1 method for attacking wp sites. I cannot even remember how many times my testing sites have been hacked with this method. Install this plugin, and set the timeout to 5 min (300 sec). Do not disable for wp-admin. Set Administrator to be redirected to login, time 5 min (300 sec). No more cookie hijack hacking because they will have to re login. This topic was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by vermaakpetrus.

   This plugin is no longer working properly. Tried it on my client’s site and it is super buggy. Just logs me out no matter what.

   This is a very helpful plugin for my purposes, and basically does as it says… I have made some suggestions I am hoping the developer will consider implementing, but want to give it five now…

   A major drawback I’ve found is that if you’ve got two windows open and you’re using only one of them, the other one times out in the background and logs you off! Then suddenly the one you are using is logged off.
