Adds <code>$_SESSION</code> functionality to WordPress, leveraging the database where needed to power multi-server installations.
Every visitor, logged in or not, will be issued a session. Session data will be stored in the WordPress database by default 
to deal with load balancing issues if multiple application servers are being used. In addition, the session collection will 
also be stored in memory for rapid use within WordPress.
Session data stored in the database can be encrypted at rest for better security.

WP Session Manager

Amazing!

good

I am using WP Session Manager in several projects since some years. Initially, I was looking for a more reliable session management compared to standard PHP sessions – and found it in WP Session Manager. Thanks for this great plugin!

Very useful and reliable

Good code quality, very useful when you need the joy of sessions :) Keep it up.

Good job

This plugin will mimic a keep-alive ping by utilizing jQuery to perform an ajax request to the current page, which will update 
the session token tied to PilotPress and or any other system attached using PHP built in sessions. Session Slap will also provide 
a settings interface to allow admins to configure details relating to interval amount (which is defauled to 5 minutes less than the 
session.maxlifetime set in php.ini).
A few notes about the sections above:
<ul>
<li>Configuration options are available in the Settings -> Session Slap menu.</li>
<li>Updates built in PHP sessions only.</li>
<li>Attempts to access session.maxlifetime ini settings, but will default to 24 minutes if not available.</li>
</ul>

Session Slap

Session Slap mimics a keepalive ping by making an AJAX request to the current page to refresh active session timestamp.
