Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Persistent Login

If a user visits your website more than once a year, they will be kept logged in forever. The only way for them to be logged out is if they clear their cookies, click logout, or don't return within 1 year.

Sometimes called concurrent logins, this is the number of devices or browsers one user is logged into. If you limit the number of active logins, users can only be logged into your website once. If a user logs in to a second device, the first device will automatically be logged out. The Remember Me box isn't checked If the Remember Me box on a login form isn't checked by default, please open a support request on the Plugin Directory. It is most likely a conflict with another plugin or theme, which can usually be fixed.

On the free version, no. You can write your own CSS or JavaScript to remove the Remember Me box from a page if you'd like. You will need FTP access to achieve this. The premium version has a simple setting to hide the Remember Me box by default, and it also works with supported plugins like Theme My Login! I don't stay logged in on multiple devices If you're not being kept logged in on multiple devices, try turning on 'Allow duplicate sessions' from the settings page. This is most common if you're trying to login to two machines with the same operating system and browser on the same network.

Yes, you can now control active logins with Persistent Login. Just visit the Active Logins tab on the settings page and enable active logins. The premium version allows you to customise the number of active logins, which user roles they apply to and whether users can select which logins they end when they reach the limit.

No. Persistent login isn't compatible with multisite installations at the moment.

You bet! Persistent Login uses core WordPress methods to ensure that we're logging in the right user. Support Support for a bug can be requested from the WordPress Plugin Directory. Premium users can request support directly from the WP Admin area.

Yes. The free forever version is and always will be free. All of your users will be kept logged-in when they revisit your website. A premium version of the plugin is available if you want to: * Manage which user roles have persistent login and active login limits * Set how long users are kept logged in for (up to 1 year) * Control the number of active logins users are allowed to have * Allow users to end specific sessions when they reach their maximum login limit * Allows you to hide the 'Remember Me' checkbox, so that users are always remembered * Session management for users: Users can see all logins. Block Editor and Shortcode support * Session management for admins: End any users session from the admin area quickly and easily * Free localhost licence * All future features and updates (with a valid licence) * Priority Support direct from within WP admin Visit persistentlogin.com to learn more.
