This plugin simply adds a logout button to the content of any password protected post. Sometimes clients want a password protected page to share information with privileged individuals and the default 10 days for the cookie to expire is too long for their liking. So I wrote a little plugin to do this with AJAX and set the cookie to expire immediately, well actually 10 days in the past.
Thank you for this excellent plugin. It does what it says on the tin perfectly!
Efficient and time saver. This plugin does exactly what it says in the tin…Logout..!
Works well, but expiry doesnt work. Any idea?
I’ve set the expiry 300 Seconds but it doesnt log out.
Just activate and that is it. Great.
This worked perfectly for my needs. Thank you so much for making it so simple.
