No support for PHP version 8.0 or later
The plugin don’t seem to work from PHP version 8.0 and above.
Worked Easily and Flawlessly
I don’t know why this isn’t a standard with WordPress, but am so grateful this developer saw the need and created a functioning, lightweight, easy to use option! Highly recommend this.
It’s incredible…
… that WP doesn’t offer this functionality on its own 😀 Great plugin, works like a charm.
Login-Logout Reviews
Finally I got it right
I was having issues with the very annoying logout confirmation but with this plugin is finally gone.
So good, I didn’t need it.
I think it deserves five stars when the instructions tell you what you can do to NOT use it and still get what you want. Can’t ask better than that!
Excellent, great, awesome yes it is!
