Abandoned Plugin
by central4all·3 years ago

Is fuctioning with problems, dont use it.

Doesn’t work well anymore
by oberning·5 years ago

Sometimes it’s working and sometimes it’s not.
– The option to empty the cart is not working neither.
– I cannot select the right roles to allow to switch, it is always picking the first (alphabetical wise) role
– There is no support anymore

PERFECT!

It works!!! Better than the first one as you can switch users from the admin bar.

Thanks so much for this!

Replaced ‘user switching’ by ‘fast user switching’
by Jayanta·5 years ago

I was having problems with the popular User Switching plugin. Was searching for an alternative. And it seems I have found a better alternative in this Fast User Switching plugin. Does the job very well and also having extra features like ‘recently switched users’, ‘switch by searching a user id’, ‘switch from Woo-commerce order page’ etc. Very useful plugin without fuss.

Does the job
