    Hello Pierre

    We use a site in dev and a site in prod.
    The website sells paid content by subscription with the paidmembershipspro plugin. Our user base has over 100,000 entries.

    During the tests everything went well but we had emptied all the sessions.

    When we went into production, we noticed that in PerfOps Sessions Tools only 6000 entries were coming up. Then if in the user’s profile page it was well indicated 3 sessions, once clicked on “Manage” no statistics came up and therefore impossible to delete IPs.

    Do you think there is a limit to the number of entries?

    Before deactivating the plugin in prod a customer wrote to us that he could not connect and received the error message. However, he had only 3 active sessions (checked in his profile and in the database) whereas our limit was set to 4 simultaneous connections.

    It’s really a pity because the plugin in dev was perfectly suitable for us.

    Hello @supertomate … and sorry to hear you have issues with Sessions.

    I will try to understand with you what’s going on.

    First of all, Sessions (the plugin) have no limitation in terms of number of managed sessions: this plugin relies on the standard WordPress session manager. So, if you use the standard sessions mechanisms included in WordPress, it just works. It is not the case if you use alternative sessions mechanisms (like PHP sessions) but I will assume you’re not.

    Secondly, the Sessions Tools can only display the sessions for the 4000 first users. I’ve done it for (admin) performance reasons, but it can be “easily” modified if you want (see below). But, if you want to be fully efficient with the size of your users base, I suggest no using this tool and prefer using auto-termination if it’s possible…

    For the “3 vs. 4 simultaneous sessions” issue, I must admit I never saw this. If you want i get an eye on this, may be could first send me the report generated in “site health” section of your site (note: by default, all “sensitive” information are omitted in this report).

    Pierre

    PS: to change the number of displayed sessions in the Sessions Tools, you can edit the file ./wp-content/plugins/sessions/includes/system/class-session.php and replace in line 1006 (int) Option::network_get( 'buffer_limit' ) by '300000'

    Thank you very much Pierre for your answer which clarifies some questions.

    I now have a better understanding of the problem of displaying the first 4000 users. The problem is that we can’t use auto-termination because it would force our users to reconnect every 24 hours.
    What I also understand is that the display of the admin.php?page=pose-manager&id= page cannot be displayed under these conditions. Is this correct?

    Here is the information from the report

    The problem is that we can’t use auto-termination because it would force our users to reconnect every 24 hours.

    You’re right for “idle” sessions supervision.
    A workaround could be to use cookie ttl + override oldest session… It will not removes idle sessions but it will reuse them as soon it is needed (while respecting count limitations).

    What I also understand is that the display of the admin.php?page=pose-manager&id= page cannot be displayed under these conditions. Is this correct?

    Yes, it is corect.

    Regarding the report, sorry but it is truncated… ??
    Could you send me to [my-first-name]@[my-last-name].fr ?

    To sum up, currently the plugin only lists the first 4000 users and does not allow to manage the sessions of the others, but Pierre will propose in a future version a setting of the number of sessions displayed.

    The problem of the user recognised with a wrong number of sessions seems to come from a browser cookie and the only solution for the moment is to overwrite the previous sessions and not to block.

    Big Up to Pierre and his wonderful work on this plugin!

    (@pierrelannoy)

    Thank @supertomate for summarizing the situation so perfectly… and for your kind words.

    To be perfectly clear, the 4000 “display” limit will be adjustable in Sessions 2.4. It will allow to display more sessions in the “manual” tool. It will have no impact on the sessions limitation per user: it already works for an unlimited number of users and sessions.

    Thanks for helping me to understand this use-case…
