Frontend Display With Shortcode

Display user sessions in a modern card-based layout on any page using the simple shortcode: [emsm_session_list].
This will show the list of active sessions for the currently logged-in user only.
This is intended to help users control their own account security.

Shortcode Parameters

Customize the frontend session display using the following attributes within the [emsm_session_list] shortcode:

fontawesome_enable

Enables or disables FontAwesome icons.
Accepted values: true or any other value (treated as false)
Default: true

fontawesome_version

Specifies the major version of FontAwesome to load.
Accepted values: Version string (e.g. 6.5.1)
Default: 7.0.0

fontawesome_cdn

Provides the full URL to a custom FontAwesome CSS file.
This overrides the default FontAwesome source used by the plugin.
Accepted values: Valid URL
Default: Plugin’s local asset path

limit

Defines the maximum number of session cards to display on the frontend.
Accepted values: Positive integer (e.g. 5, 20)
Default: 10

Important Note: If you provide fontawesome_cdn, also set fontawesome_version for proper loading.

Usage Example:

[emsm_session_list limit="5"]

Frontend Session Management

• Current Session Highlight: The current active session always appears at the top of the list.
• Organized Display: Sessions are ordered by login time (newest first).
• Individual Logout: Log out specific devices with “Log Out This Device” buttons on each session card.
• Bulk Logout Option: Use the “Log Out Everywhere Else” button to keep only your current session active.

Template Overrides

Developers can override the plugin’s frontend templates by placing custom template files in the active theme.
This allows for complete customization of the session list display without modifying the plugin’s core files.

How to Override Templates

1. In your active theme’s root directory, create a new folder called:
   extendmate-session-manager

2. Copy the template files you wish to customize from the plugin’s directory:
   wp-content/plugins/extendmate-session-manager/inc/template/frontend/
   to your theme’s new directory:
   wp-content/themes/your-theme/extendmate-session-manager/

3. Edit the copied template files in your theme directory. The plugin will automatically use these custom templates instead of the default ones.

Enabling Template Overrides

Template overrides are disabled by default. To enable this feature, use the following filter:

add_filter( 'emsm_enable_template_overrides', '__return_true' );

Usage

Admin Dashboard

1. Navigate to Users > All Users to see the new “Sessions” column.
2. Click on any session count to view detailed session information.
3. Use bulk actions to log out multiple users at once.
4. Visit individual user profiles to see session counts and manage sessions for specific users.

Frontend Display

1. Add the shortcode [emsm_session_list] to any page where you want to display session information.
2. Customize the display using the available shortcode attributes.
3. Users can manage their own sessions directly from the frontend.
