Loggedin

Appears in

Settings tab

  • Open tabs reload to wp-login within your polling interval
  • Configurable refresh interval (60 seconds by default)
  • Works on every host — simple polling, no WebSockets or sidecars
  • The polling script loads only for logged-in users

What it does

Without it, a browser tab that has already been logged out elsewhere keeps rendering as if authenticated until the user clicks something. Real-time Logout closes that gap: a small script polls the server on a fixed interval, and the moment the session is gone — a logout elsewhere, an admin force-logout, or a hit concurrent-session limit — the tab hard-reloads back to wp-login.

How it works

Despite the name, this isn’t WebSockets or push — it’s deliberate polling, because polling works on every WordPress host with no sidecar service or firewall changes. At the recommended 60-second interval the load is negligible, and the script is only shipped to logged-in users.

It adds a Real-time Logout panel to the Loggedin settings tab where you set the refresh interval. Best paired with Active Sessions so an admin sign-out is both easy to trigger and quick to land.
