Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Sessions is a powerful sessions manager for WordPress with a multi-criteria sessions limiter and full analytics reporting about logins, logouts and account creation. It relies on the standard WordPress sessions manager and add it extra features and controls.

You can limit concurrent sessions, on a per role basis for the following criteria:

  • count per user;
  • count per IP adresses;
  • count per country (requires the free IP Locator plugin);
  • count per device classes and types, client types, browser or OS (requires the free Device Detector plugin).

For each roles defined on your site, you can also block login based on private/public IP ranges, and define idle times for sessions auto-termination.

You can also set a maximum number of IPs used for each user – useful to limit credential sharing between many people.

Sessions can report the following main items and metrics:

  • KPIs: login success, active sessions, cleaned sessions, active users, turnover and spam sessions;
  • active and cleaned sessions details;
  • users and sessions variations;
  • moves distribution;
  • login/logout breakdowns;
  • password resets;

Sessions supports a set of WP-CLI commands to:

  • manage WordPress active sessions (list, kill) – see wp help sessions active for details;
  • toggle on/off main settings – see wp help sessions settings for details;
  • modify operations mode – see wp help sessions mode for details;
  • display sessions and accounts statistics – see wp help sessions analytics for details.
