Session Expired Prematurely

    While actively working in the editor the session will expire with no warning. While opening the media library to place an image the media library will stop working and shortly thereafter I will get the prompt to log back in. I’ve attempted to force the session longer via code but it does not seem to override the plugin’s session.

    Hopefully there is a fix, I did not see any setting in the plugin to adjust session timing, only State timeout limit.

    Whether my session is active or not it logs me out every 10 minutes. Very frustrating, may need to find an alternative solution.

    FYI, there is actually an incorrect implementation of session length tied to the token refresh expiration. I have a fix in the works and this should be resolved in the next release. There is a hook that can be used that was implemented to extend the WordPress session length.

    Thanks, that seems to be working for now. Looking forward to the update!

    Thank god I’m not crazy.

    I am still facing this issue across all of my sites, making them almost unusable, changing the session length like you did obviously didn’t work for me either, but I have this across 30-40 sites so far.

    This is the cleanest, best OAuth2 plugin out there that works so well, but this session timeout is killing us lol.

    @jakeyprime what IDP are you using? I have not seen the session timeout be a major pain. I have this currently running on around 25 sites for a single client. It’s possible that they issue is worse for some IDPs versus others.

    @tnolte I think I’ve isolated the issue and moved this conversation to Github as that’s probably where you want it ;), along with some ideas from my end!

    @jakeyprime OK, I’ll try to get the fix for this rolled out in the coming weeks.
