member logout time

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi there,

I've had members complain that they get logged out too quickly if no activity, they say 30 mins. A few asking if it could be longer.

Is there a way to change that? Maybe I'm being daft, but can't find it.

Looks similar the my question as this goes for admin cp as well as frontend.

 

We rely on the php.ini-defined session settings to control the logout time period, however I should note that if you login on the front end and choose the "Remember me" option (which is the default) then the user should be automatically logged back in upon returning later, which differs from the AdminCP behavior. It sounds like the users just need to ensure that option is checked when they login next time so that even if their session expires they will transparently be given a new member session.

Thanks, that makes sense....

Are there downsides to changing the php.ini session settings from 30 min?

Sessions will be considered valid for longer. You don't want a session to be valid for a super long time, but you can certainly increase it from the default of 24 minutes or whatever if you want.
