Share the post "User Login Count"
To create the user login count, we need three new functions to add inside your wp-login.php file. With this tutorial, you will be able to see the number of times your WordPress users logged in by adding a new column in the users’ table.
We will create a new meta user in order to display the number of log in by buers.
WordPress User Login Count
The meta user will be titled ‘user_count_connections’ and automatically add every time a user logs in.
function via_login($username, $user) {
$login_count = intval(get_user_meta($user->ID, 'user_count_connections', true));
$login_count++;
update_user_meta($user->ID, 'user_count_connections', $login_count);
}
add_action('wp_login', 'via_login', 10, 2);Now we’ll create the new column under the Users tab to display the number of connections.
function via_modify_user_table( $column ) {
$column['connections'] = 'Connections';
return $column;
}
add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'via_modify_user_table' );And finally we’ll display the meta user results.
function via_modify_user_table_row( $value, $column_name, $user_id ) {
$user = get_userdata( $user_id );
switch ($column_name) {
case 'connections' :
$user_connection = get_the_author_meta( 'user_count_connections', $user_id );
if ($user_connection == 0) {
return '0';
}
else {
return get_the_author_meta( 'user_count_connections', $user_id );
}
break;
default:
}
return $value;
}
add_filter( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'via_modify_user_table_row', 10, 3 );Moving forward, in WordPress under the User tab, you’ll see now many times each user logged in.
