Add this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file.
- A check to ensure only administrators’ logins and logouts are tracked and stored.
- An admin page that displays login history, specifically for administrators, with access restricted to users who have the ‘manage_options’ capability, which typically includes administrators.
- A filter in the display function to ensure it shows activities for the last 7 days.

Hello everyone
Thank you very much for your answers.
Sorry, I think I was misunderstood.
Maybe you understand me better this way.
There are 2 users with admin rights on this Word Press installation
are present.
I just want to know if I can see when I log in whether the other admin is already logged in?
Thank you
kind regards
Franz
This would be feasible with all 3 options mentioned. Decide which one works best for you.
I see. You want a message advising you that another administrator is logged in when you login…
Note that this solution involves custom session management to track user logins, as WordPress doesn’t natively track real-time sessions in the database.
function custom_track_admin_login( $user_login, $user ) {
if ( in_array( 'administrator', (array) $user->roles ) ) {
// Set a transient to expire after a certain period, e.g., 1 hour (3600 seconds).
set_transient( 'admin_logged_in_' . $user->ID, time(), 3600 );
}
}
add_action('wp_login', 'custom_track_admin_login', 10, 2);
function custom_track_admin_logout( $user_id ) {
// Delete the transient on logout.
delete_transient( 'admin_logged_in_' . $user_id );
}
add_action('wp_logout', 'custom_track_admin_logout');
function custom_check_other_admin_logged_in() {
if (current_user_can('administrator')) {
$current_user_id = get_current_user_id();
$admins = get_users(array('role' => 'administrator', 'exclude' => array($current_user_id)));
foreach ($admins as $admin) {
if ( get_transient( 'admin_logged_in_' . $admin->ID ) ) {
// Since we're inserting this into a script, ensure it's properly escaped.
$alert_message = esc_js('Another admin is currently logged in.');
echo "<script>alert('{$alert_message}');</script>";
break; // Exit the loop after finding the first logged-in admin.
}
}
}
}
add_action('admin_notices', 'custom_check_other_admin_logged_in');
