Do you want to force logout users from your site and force them to re-login? You probably want to do that if you suspect your site is being hacked. To keep your user’s accounts safe, you’ll need to force them to log out so that you can clean up your hacked site.
The WPForce Logout plugin allows you to force logout specific user(s) or all users at once from your WordPress site. Additionally, the plugin displays the online users, their last login activity, etc.
Installation and setup
1. Install the plugin from the admin dashboard panel. Go to your site dashboard > Plugins > Add New. Search for “WPForce Logout”.
If you’re not already familiar, check out the guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
2. Install and activate the plugin.
3. Goto the All Users page. You will see the user’s activity in the first column.
4. Clicking the Logout link will force the user to log out.
5. The plugin also supports forcing multiple users to log out at a time.
Force Logout All Users
The plugin also gives an option to force logout all users so that any logged-in user will have to re-login.
Heads up! If you log out all users at once, be ready. You’ll be logged out as well.
I hope you found this helpful!
Did you know how to allow users to delete their account from frontend?
Hi Sanjeeb, I tried using your plugin, WP Logout, to log out all users. But for some reason, even after using it, it says that there are two users online, when the only user online should be me. I deleted some users before activating it, but normaly if you delete a user they shouldn’t be able to access, and when looking at the users allowed in the site all apart from the one I am currently using appear as offline.
Any idea on what could be the problem?
Kind regards,
Adam
Hi Adam,
Thanks for reaching out! The deleted users can still have login session. By default, session isn’t destroyed if the user is deleted unless you have explicitly done that.
They will be displayed offline after some time of inactivity.
You could have logged out the users and then delete them.
I hope this clarifies!
