    In my Active Sessions Management window, it looks like this:
    Session Remote IP Login Idle exp. Standard exp.
    name1 ***-***-***-*** ****-**-** **:**:** In In
    name1 ***-***-***-*** ****-**-** **:**:** __ In
    name2 ***-***-***-*** ****-**-** **:**:** In In 10 days
    name3 ***-***-***-*** ****-**-** **:**:** In In
    name4 ***-***-***-*** ****-**-** **:**:** __ In 4 days

    Some show “In” under both Idle and Standard exp. …What does this mean?
    Some show nothing under Idle but “In” under Standard exp. …?
    Some show “In” under Idle then “In 10 days” under Standard exp. …?
    Show show nothing under Idle but “In 4 days” under Standard exp. …?

    I’d like to get a better understanding what these mean and what is going on.

    Thank you. ~Scott

    Hello Scott!

    Thank you for your report.

    If you see “In” and nothing after that, it’s mainly due to the fact the expiration date/time is in the past and … yes, Sessions should rather display “staled” or something like that. It will be fixed in the next release of the plugin.

    Now, why sessions have expiration date/time in the past? There can be many reasons. It could be “normal” (other plugins modifying WP sessions tokens), a bug (of Sessions) or a system misconfiguration / issue (WP cron not set or failing, database error, etc.).

    If you have some time to share with me, we can try to understand what’s going on…

    If so, can you tell me if you have notices or warnings or errors in your logs?

    Thanks.
    Pierre

    Which logs should I look at? Or, where do I find the logs you are referring to?

    Hello Scott.

    I depends the logs you have (PHP logs, DecaLog, etc.)
    What types do you have?

    I haven’t installed any plugin for logs.
    Is there some default log for WordPress? Or should I install a particular log?

    Hi!
    It depends on your configuration… The log file is on your server, you can access it directly (via ftp, location is depend of your hosting plan), via plugins (like Error Log Viewer), or you can install plugin to have alternative logging mechanisms (like DecaLog – disclaimer I’m the author of the this one).

    In fact, the type of log is not very important at first. What is important is to detect if there’s some errors. Nevermind the method, it can be on the page, a behavior which is not standard, etc.
