 * Hi,
 * I use your plugin on several websites and I really like it. But it seems there
   is a bug. When I activate force logout function and set e.g. 30 minutes the plugin
   logges me out while I’m working on products or pages! After I logged in again
   I can’t save the page or product changes. Very annoying. Please can you check
   this? I use plugin version 4.4.8 and I had this bug in last versions as well.

 * Hi,
 * I have experienced the same problem, too.
 * I think this option should log out the user after a certain amount time of inactivity,
   not when we are working on the website. This is very annoying.
 * I am not sure if this is a bug or the option is designed to work like this.

 * [@nachhaltigejobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nachhaltigejobs/), please
   read the following note regarding this feature.

   > session will expire and the user will be forced to log back in.
 * So, if you set a time limit to 30 minutes in **Logout the WP User After XX Minutes:**,
   when this time is reached you will also be logged out of your session because
   you are logged in as an administrator in your site.
 * Let me know if the above makes sense to you.
 * Kind regards

 * Hi, [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/)
 * In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense at all.
 * Logically it should log out the user after xx amount of inactivity time, not 
   while the user is working on the site.
 * I believe this option will be more beneficial when it logs out the users after
   xx time of inactivity. This also protects the site from unauthorized access much
   better.
 * I remember Once I set the time to 1 minute to test it. It logged me out after
   1 minute.
    Does it make sense?
