Biscotti

Biscotti is a plugin that modifies the expiration of the logged in user cookie in WordPress to three months, six months, or one year. Because some people hate to have to keep entering their passwords.

WP-CLI Commands

As of version 2.1.0, Biscotti includes WP-CLI commands for managing a user’s logged in session cookie expiration.

biscotti get

This command returns the previously defined cookie expiration of a user.

Options

 — The ID of the user. 

biscotti set

This command sets the logged in session cookie expiration of a user.

Options

 — ID of the user.

 — New expiration duration. It must be one of the following values: `'3 months'`, `'6 months'`, `'1 year'`

Note

Please remember to replace the user_id and expiration placeholders with the actual user ID and desired expiration duration when running either of these commands.

To install this plugin, drop biscotti.php into your site’s wp-content/plugins directory and activate it.

2.1.0

Added WP-CLI command. Bumped required PHP version to 8.0.

2.0.3

@webaware has decided to help make this code less awful and submitted a pull request on GitHub. This release implements their improvements.

2.0.2

Sanitize. Not escape. Ack!

2.0.1

Forgot to escape the lone $_POST in my code. Feel dumb about it. Fixed now tho.

2.0.0

Rewrite! Now, instead of forcing everyone to use the same login cookie expiration, Biscotti allows users to individually select their login cookie expiration on their profile page.

1.0.0

Initial release. Simple plugin that forced login cookie expiration for every user to 1 year.
