<h3>Privacy Statement</h3>
<p>User Switching does not send data to any third party, nor does it include any third party resources, nor will it ever do so.</p>
<p>User Switching makes use of browser cookies in order to allow users to switch to another account. Its cookies operate using the same mechanism as the authentication cookies in WordPress core, which means their values contain the user’s <code>user_login</code> field in plain text which should be treated as potentially personally identifiable information (PII) for privacy and regulatory reasons (GDPR, CCPA, etc). The names of the cookies are:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>wordpress_user_sw_{COOKIEHASH}</code></li>
<li><code>wordpress_user_sw_secure_{COOKIEHASH}</code></li>
<li><code>wordpress_user_sw_olduser_{COOKIEHASH}</code></li>
</ul>
<p>See also the FAQ for some questions relating to privacy and safety when switching between users.</p>
<h3>Accessibility Statement</h3>
<p>User Switching aims to be fully accessible to all of its users. It implements best practices for web accessibility, outputs semantic and structured markup, adheres to the default styles and accessibility guidelines of WordPress, uses the accessibility APIs provided by WordPress and web browsers where appropriate, and is fully accessible via keyboard.</p>
<p>User Switching should adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at level AA when used with a recent version of WordPress where its admin area itself adheres to these guidelines. If you’ve experienced or identified an accessibility issue in User Switching, please open a thread in <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/user-switching/" rel="ugc">the User Switching plugin support forum</a> and I’ll address it swiftly.</p>


User Switching

Right out of the box, this plugin is a major time saver for development. But, finding the 'current_user_switched' took this to a whole other level.

Deeply powerful

Thanks for the great plugin, it always works as intended and recommend it to everyone needing to test client side facing stuff!

My go to User Switching Plugin!

This plugin is a time saver and is developer friendly; allowing you to create dynamic user switching links when needed.

Time saver

Useful tool


I love User Switching when I'm building systems with complex permissions and membership. It helps me to impersonate another user and make sure the permissions I've given them are correct. Super plugin!


Great Help


I don't want to have to go to the users list every time, this falsifies the one click claim.  I want a button on the top WP bar.  I also can't switch back unless I'm in the admin menu which I'm mostly not.  I will see if I can add my own options up there...


Good BUT Not so fast as claimed - No Top Bar buttons


Works flawlessly. Has for years. I install this on every site with users. Nothing beats seeing exactly what they see.


I use this plugin on every site


An excellent plugin which is very easy to use and a must for sites with multiple types of users when you need to test things.



Well written too and good for developers to work with if needed.



Highly recommended.


Easy to use and well written


Very happy with this plugin! It’s simple to use and works flawlessly, making my tasks easier and more efficient.


Super helper


I integrate this plugin with BuddyBoss, WooCommerce, and some of my custom dashboards. It’s a very handy plugin and has saved me a lot of time by providing features that I would otherwise have to develop from scratch.


Perfect simple user switch plugin


Super great plugin for any WordPress site using members, portal, or similar experience.


Super Useful for sites with Members/Portal/etc

Instant switching between user accounts in WordPress and WooCommerce.
