  • Hello jfkseo,
    Wordfence does not have a feature for displaying currently logged in users. You can however see the latest logins under “Live Traffic”/”Logins and Logouts”.

    Thanks,

    However that would be a good feature to add to display for admin.
    Or any “simple” plugin just to display current logged in users on the admin dashboard – do you know any?
    Thanks
    Fred

    That seems like a no-brainer feature for any “firewall” plugin.

    For example, WP Simple Firewall shows in their documentation that they have a really nice reporting of logged in users. I’m beginning to realize that in the fight against online criminals, information is power. A good firewall or other type of security plugin should overwhelm us with information, perhaps with options to turn such information on and off as needed.

    From WP Simple Firewall documentation: On the ‘User Management’ section of the plugin, below the options, you can view tables of failed logins, and currently active sessions.
    It outlines:
    the time they logged into this session
    their last activity time
    the last page they accessed
    the IP address from which they’re accessing the site (which links to an IP Whois)
    and how many attempts it took to login (normally 1)

    Thanks for the input both of you. I’ll pass this on to the dev team.

    As an addition though, when a user logs out it will be logged in the Live Traffic/Logins-Logouts screen. So if your users are logging in and out you should be able to tell who has access to your site and who doesn’t.

    In the meantime you can use a plugin: WP-UserOnline – get simple stat – good for knowing if any user logged in (in case you clean current cache, or cleaning current post revisions ..etc)
