Concurrent login for some users

  • How do I implement the function in your FAQ section for allowing concurrent logins for some users?

    function pcl_bypass_admins( $user_id ) {
    $user = get_user_by( 'id', absint( $user_id ) );

    if ( ! empty( $user->roles[0] ) && 'administrator' === $user->roles[0] ) {
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}
add_filter( 'pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins', 'pcl_bypass_admins' );

    I’m not a coder. Where specifically do I add the user id that i want to allow concurrent logins?

    Hi David,

    Just as the FAQ says you need to place that block of code into your theme’s functions.php file or in an MU plugin.

    The $user_id param is supplied by the pcl_prevent_concurrent_logins filter being hooked into.

    The example code is designed to bypass any user with the Administrator role.

    Ok thanks. It wasn’t clear to me that the bypass is based on roles, not on individual users.
    I understand now.

    I’ve just updated the FAQ to include code examples for both bypass methods, by user ID and by user role.
