Outstanding plugin! Is there a way to redirect to a particular url after logout?
Hi there,
Not at the moment. Will be adding this in the next update.
Me again. First let me say great work on the many additions and changes to this wonderful plugin. Is there a way to redirect to a specific URL instead of having to choose from a list of pages/posts?
Hi Moe,
Sorry.. Did not add that feature since i thought that wont be necessary… Will take this into consideration.. Please create an issue and tag it as “enhancement” in github repository https://github.com/techies23/Inactive-Logout/issues/new so that i can track and not forget 🙂

Hi Danielle,
My site has blocked your comment as spam so i did not see your comment in my mailbox so i did not reach out to you sooner.. Sorry for that.. Is there anyway you can upgrade your server to atleast php version 5.6 ? You should not use php less that since its going to be deprecated soon. If any problems you can contact me via contact me section.. Thanx
Hi Dp,
Thank for your reply.
My boss dont want to upgrade our old server (php 5.3.8). I try few plugin for logout after inactivity. Only your (inactive-logout) do exacty what i expect ! others are very approximative and not usefull. I’m not able to transform php code in way that your plugin work on php 5.3.8. I just want to logout users on WP multisite after 3 minutes of inactivity. If you can help me. Thanks. Danielle
Hi Danielle,
Again sorry for late reply. Please send me an email from https://deepenbajracharya.com.np/say-hello/ if i dont get back to you soon. Because in comments its likely to go into spam if special characters are written.
Its bad that you cannot upgrade your server. Like i said recommend using php version 5.6 equivalent or above. For you a temporary solution is to edit plugin source code file.
Edit file inactive-logout/src/inactive-logout-main.php on line 198. Edit “5.4” to “5.2”. Save and it should work for you. Lemme knw through mail from https://deepenbajracharya.com.np/say-hello/ if it works for you. Thanx.
HI DpEN,
With your modification “5.4” to “5.2” your plugin work very fine, a great thanks to you, inactives users are going to have a new surprise 😉

Best regards and thanks again. Danielle
