How to use the plugin?

1. To see all the tracked records in admin, click on the plugin menu shown in the left sidebar.

2. To see all the tracked records of current logged in users in frontend, use the following shortcode:

Basic Usage of Shortcode:

In your template file:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[user_login_history]'); ?> 

In your content:

[user_login_history] 

Advanced Usage of Shortcode:

In your template file:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[user_login_history limit='20' reset_link='custom-uri' columns='ip_address,time_login' date_format='Y-m-d' time_format='H:i:s']"); ?> 

In your content:

[user_login_history limit='20' reset_link='custom-uri' columns='ip_address,time_login' date_format='Y-m-d' time_format='H:i:s'] 

Shortcode Parameters

You can use the shortcode to display the login list of the current user. It does not display the login list of other users.
Here is the list of all the parameters that you can use in the shortcode. All the parameters are optional.

1. title – Title of the listing table. Default is: empty string

2. limit – Number of records per page. Default is: 20

3. reset_link – Custom URI of the listing page. For the input “my-login-history”, it will render a reset link with the following URL:
   www.example.com/my-login-history
   Default is the full permalink of the current post or page.

4. date_format – A valid date format. Default is:

   Y-m-d

5. time_format – A valid time format. Default is:

   H:i:s

6. show_timezone_selector – Whether you want to show timezone selector or not. Any value other than “true” will be treated as “false”. Default is:
   true

7. roles (Pro Feature):
   It allows you to set role(s) in the shortcode parameter so that you can see the login list of other users who belong to the role(s).

   [user_login_history roles=’administrator, editor’]

8. columns – List of column keys used to render columns on the listing table. Default keys are:

   operating_system, browser, time_login, time_logout

9. Available Column Keys:

   user_id, username, role, old_role, ip_address, country_name, browser, operating_system, timezone, user_agent, duration, time_last_seen, time_login, time_logout, login_status

Geo Tracking

The plugin uses a free third party service to detect country and timezone based on IP address. Many projects are using this free service due to which sometimes the server of the service provider becomes slow. This may affect the login functionality of your website. Hence it is recommended that you do not enable this functionality unless you have paid service or reliable service. If you have a paid service, you can contact us to integrate it.

Login Statuses

1. Logged in – If the user gets logged in successfully.

2. Logged out – If the user clicks on logout button and gets logged out successfully.

3. Failed – If the user enters invalid credentials.

4. Blocked (DEPRECATED! Will be removed in 3.0) – This is used for the multisite network. By default, a user can login to any blog and then WordPress redirects to the blog on which the user is associated. The plugin saves login info at the blog on which the user logged in but cannot not save the information of the blog on which WordPress redirects the user. You can prevent this behavior by using the plugin setting. Please note that we already removed this status from the pro version plugin but not from the free version yet.

5. Unknown (DEPRECATED! Will be removed in 3.0) – Since we have added a new column “Login Status” in the version 1.7.0, its value will be empty in the database table after upgrading to 1.7.0. To filter such records, you can use this status.

Note – In case, a user log in with “Remember Me” and then closes his browser without doing logout, it will show the login status as “Logged in”.
