Excellent plugin
by Betty_·1 year ago
A simple and excellent plugin, very useful for me!
Thank you very much!
Broke my theme.
by Trondur·2 years ago
Installed, activated widget, and the Divi Theme broke. Widget not shown on front end
I’m looking everywhere for at widget or anything to display live users on my site. The internet is almost comlpetely empty on the subject. Was standard in HTML ffrom the early beginnings of the internet.
Please fix, and I’ll rate anew.

Exactly what I was looking for

This is exactly what I was looking for. Quick and simple way to see if there are users connected. No complicated setup, no 3rd party accounts needed. All in the Backend.
Perfect
Well, it works… ;)
