How to add last logged in user column in WordPress?
Today I will show you how to find out the last time a user logged into your website.
Step 1. Save Last Login in User Meta
Before displaying the last login date for each user account, we must collect it every time the user logs in to your website.
add_action( 'wp_login', 'misha_collect_login_timestamp', 20, 2 );
function misha_collect_login_timestamp( $user_login, $user ) {
update_user_meta( $user->ID, 'last_login', time() );
}
<div>
<span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span><span>4</span><span>5</span><span>6</span><span>7</span>
</div>
You copy this code to the functions.php file of the current theme.
This code allows WordPress to start saving the time in the wp_usermeta table every time a user logs in to your site.
Step 2. Display information on the All Users page
add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'misha_add_last_login_column' );
add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'misha_last_login_column', 10, 3 );
function misha_user_last_login_column( $columns ) {
$columns['last_login'] = 'Last Login'; // column ID / column Title
return $columns;
}
function misha_last_login_column( $output, $column_id, $user_id ){
if( $column_id == 'last_login' ) {
$last_login = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'last_login', true );
$date_format = 'j M, Y';
$output = $last_login ? date( $date_format, $last_login ) : '-';
}
return $output;
}<div>
<span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span><span>4</span><span>5</span><span>6</span><span>7</span><span>8</span><span>9</span><span>10</span><span>11</span><span>12</span><span>13</span><span>14</span><span>15</span><span>16</span><span>17</span><span>18</span><span>19</span><span>20</span><span>21</span><span>22</span><span>23</span><span>24</span>
</div>
Add sortable for columns
This step is optional but is quite useful as it allows you to schedule times if you want to know which users are active recently.
add_filter( 'manage_users_sortable_columns', 'misha_sortable_columns' );
add_action( 'pre_get_users', 'misha_sort_last_login_column' );
function misha_sortable_columns( $columns ) {
return wp_parse_args( array(
'last_login' => 'last_login'
), $columns );
});
function misha_sort_last_login_column( $query ) {
if( !is_admin() ) {
return $query;
}
$screen = get_current_screen();
if( isset( $screen->id ) && $screen->id !== 'users' ) {
return $query;
}
if( isset( $_GET[ 'orderby' ] ) && $_GET[ 'orderby' ] == 'last_login' ) {
$query->query_vars['meta_key'] = 'last_login';
$query->query_vars['orderby'] = 'meta_value';
}
return $query;
} );
<div>
<span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span><span>4</span><span>5</span><span>6</span><span>7</span><span>8</span><span>9</span><span>10</span><span>11</span><span>12</span><span>13</span><span>14</span><span>15</span><span>16</span><span>17</span><span>18</span><span>19</span><span>20</span><span>21</span><span>22</span><span>23</span><span>24</span><span>25</span><span>26</span><span>27</span><span>28</span><span>29</span><span>30</span><span>31</span><span>32</span><span>33</span><span>34</span>
</div>
