FAQ

How do I change the idle time period?

Go and configure the time period whatever you like from your admin end general settings page.

It\’s in milliseconds, so 2 seconds is equal to 2000 ms of idle time.

What happens if I accidentally set time to 1 Second?

It isn\’t possible. The plugin does some validation, which force user to set idle time minimum 10. If left blank, it will take default time mentioned in General Settings tab.
