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.
