Logged in users are not tracked

  • Hi,

    The title says it all: The tracking of the logged in users only works like less than 5% of the time. And I’m pretty sure of this, because I use the plugin on a membership site with a lot of logged in users. I just tested it myself, and it shows the visits/hits, but not the user I’m logged in with. And yes, I checked, the user roles are not excluded.

    Also I saw that in the last update (V13.2.15 – 13.01.2023) you worked on something regarding this: “Bugfix: The exclusion issue when user is logged-in”

    Unfortunately I just installed this plugin for the first time, so I can’t tell if it worked in the past.

    But I also found other recent support threads with no solution, so there really must be an issue somewhere:

    Thanks and best regards,
    Michael

    Thank you for opening the topic and reporting the issue, I guess there is an issue in Cralwer detection since there is the similar topic here

    Hi,

    Just tested it, but still doesn’t work. I see the hits/visitors, but the user account is still not tracked.

    Best regards,
    Michael

    Most likely an exclusion role causes this issue, to find it we need to make sure what is that, can you please enable Record Exclusions in Settings → Exclusions and then go to /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wps_exclusions_page

    Just tested it, it’s not an exclusion role issue.

    And I think there is a misunderstanding: The problem is not that the logged in users hits/visits are not tracked. They are tracked. But, they are tracked like they were not logged in (when you go to “Statistics – Visitors” the “User” column shows “—”, even though I know it was a logged in user).

    Oh, thank you for the clarification, In this case, can you please check that the option Settings → General → Record All Users is enabled?

    That option was already enabled. Look, it definitely is a bug, not some wrong configuration. I just went and installed the latest minor version (13.1.7) and here it still works, the “User (=Benutzer)” column is immediately tracked an shown:

    But this version has a critical SQL injection bug which has been fixed in version 13.2.11. And with this version (and still in the latest version 13.2.16), the User/Benutzer column is always empty:

    So I don’t know exactly in which version this bug was introduced, but it must be at least since V13.2.11 – 01.01.2023.
