Cookie Tasting

This plugin sets user cookie when user is logged in. You can use cookie as data store, so you can use it as UI resource. Visibility This plugin adds class to html element. ct-logged-in The current user is logged in. ct-not-logged-in The current user is anonymous. You can control elements visibility with CSS. .some-element{ display: none; } .ct-logged-in .some-element{ display: block; } From JavaScript You can use Global Object CookieTasting for utility. CookieTasting.userName() Returns user name. If not logged in, returns ‘Guest’. CookieTasting.lastUpdated() Returns timestamp of last log in check. If this equals 0, it means that user is anonymous. Besides that, this plugin checks periodically log-in status. You can handle it with jQuery. jQuery( document ).on( 'cookie.tasting', function( event, response ) { if ( response.login ) { // User is logged in. // If you use React... setAttributes({ name: CookieTasting.userName() }) } else { // User is not logged in. } } ); If you use react or something, updated the status with setState(). Check Before Action If you manage cached WordPress and customizing your own theme, It’s a good idea to implement dynamic UI components with JavaScript. You can check user’s credential just before important actions. // Click action for button. $('.read-more').click( function( e ) { e.preventDefault(); // Check cookie before do something. CookieTasting.testBefore().then( function( response ) { // Now user has fresh information. // Load premium contents. loadPremiumContents(); }).catch( function( response ) { // This user is not logged in. // Redirect them to login page. window.locaion.href = '/wp-login.php'; } ); } ); Plese remember adding dependency for cookie-tasting-heartbeat to your script. Handle UUID By default, this plugin set UUID for each user. This will be… Unique for each logged in user and will be saved as user_meta. Also kept for anonymous user. So you can use it for Google Analytic’s User ID View. const uuid = CookieTasting.get( 'uuid' ); // For Google Analytics. ga( 'set', "userId", uid );

Remember Me Controls

Take control of the “Remember Me” login feature for WordPress by having it enabled by default, customize how long users are remembered, or disable this built-in feature by default. For those unfamiliar, “Remember Me” is a checkbox present when logging into WordPress. If checked, WordPress will remember the login session for 14 days. If unchecked, the login session will be remembered for only 2 days. Once a login session expires, WordPress will require you to log in again if you wish to continue using the admin section of the site. This plugin provides three primary controls over the behavior of the “Remember Me” feature: Automatically check “Remember Me” : The ability to have the “Remember Me” checkbox automatically checked when the login form is loaded (it isn’t checked by default). Customize the duration of the “Remember Me” : The ability to customize how long WordPress will remember a login session when “Remember Me” is checked, either forever or a customizable number of hours. Disable “Remember Me” : The ability to completely disable the feature, preventing the checkbox from appearing and restricting all login sessions to 2 days. NOTE: WordPress remembers who you are based on cookies stored in your web browser. If you use a different web browser, clear your cookies, use a browser on a different machine, or uninstall/reinstall (and possibly even just restarting) your browser then you will have to log in again since WordPress will not be able to locate the cookies needed to identify you. Compatibility Other than the plugins listed below, compatibility has not been tested or attempted for any other third-party plugins that provide their own login widgets or login handling. Special handling has been added to provide compatibility with the following plugins: BuddyPress (in particular, its “Log in” widget) Sidebar Login Login Widget With Shortcode Links: Plugin Homepage | Plugin Directory Page | GitHub | Author Homepage
