You should use the built in WordPress function is_user_logged_in(), as well as several other WordPress functions: if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) { wp_redirect( get_bloginfo( ‘url’ ) . ‘/index.php’ ); exit; } wp_redirect() handles the redirection for you. Please be aware that it does not exit automatically, so you should call it afterwards. I also built in … Read more
For anyone who stumbles upon this, I have found a solution that works well for me. I wanted to be able to update user meta data during the logout process, whether it is user initiated or automatic through expiry of session data. So the solution: function logMeOutOrSomething($expiration, $user_id) { update_user_meta($user_id, ‘first_name’, ‘superMario’); return $expiration; } … Read more
This can have many causes. In my case right now it had been a no longer maintained plugin that became incompatible with WordPress after an update of WordPress itself. (Just in case it’s relevant, the plugin was WP Login Timeout Settings.) To test if this is the cause I propose that you disable all plugins … Read more
WordPress Keeps Logging Out – What Tests Can I Run to Solve This?
There are a couple of “timing” issues you’re running into here. When you’re calling wp_get_current_user() this isn’t really available at the moment of logging in, so to capture the logging-in user, you have to use a slightly different approach.

I think the reason is echo vs return: The function posts_logout_link from http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/logout-password-protected-posts/trunk/logout.php is using echo. Your code is therefore both returning and echoing values. ps: You could consider using output buffering to fix this ob_start(); do_action(‘posts_logout_link’); $logout_link=ob_get_clean(); return $menu . ‘<li>’ . $logout_link . ‘</li>’; or modify the plugin code functions to your needs … Read more
The key function to use is wp_logout_url. This function returns the URL for a user to logout. You can construct a regular anchor tag / link markup around it and style that as you see fit. wp_logout_url takes an optional $redirect argument to send the user to after logout. Here’s a sample with markup and … Read more
You have the plugin User Switching installed From their FAQ: What does “Switch off” mean? Switching off logs you out of your account but retains your user ID in an authentication cookie so you can switch straight back without having to log in again manually. It’s akin to switching to no user, and being able … Read more
By default, the “Remember Me” checkbox makes you get remembered for 14 days. This is filterable though. add below code in your theme functions.php where 31556926 = 1 year in seconds This code will change that value: add_filter( ‘auth_cookie_expiration’, ‘keep_me_logged_in_for_1_year’ ); function keep_me_logged_in_for_1_year( $expirein ) { return 31556926; // 1 year in seconds }
