Quick Start

Use this quick setup guide if you want to get SessionQuota Pro working in a few minutes.

Recommended first configuration #

1. Go to Settings -> SessionQuota Pro.
2. Set a global session limit.
3. Choose an enforcement mode.
4. Save your settings.
5. Test the behavior with two browsers or devices.

Step 1: set the global session limit #

The global session limit controls how many active sessions a user can have at once.

• 1 means one active session per user
• 2 means two active sessions per user
• 0 means unlimited sessions

For most sites, start with one of these:

• Membership or course site: 1
• Store or client portal: 1 or 2
• Team or editorial site: 2 or 3

Step 2: choose an enforcement mode #

Pick the behavior you want when a user reaches the limit:

• Block new login: stop the new login attempt
• Logout oldest session(s): make room by removing the oldest session
• Logout all other sessions: keep only the latest session active

If you want the strictest setup, use Logout all other sessions.

Step 3: enable frontend session control if needed #

If you want users to manage their own active sessions from the frontend:

1. Leave Enable automatic dashboard placement enabled.
2. Or place the available shortcodes on your own account page.

See Frontend Session Management for details.

Step 4: test the setup #

Test with two different browsers or devices:

1. Sign in as the same user on Device A.
2. Sign in again on Device B.
3. Confirm the result matches your selected enforcement mode.

Step 5: add advanced rules if needed #

After the basic setup works, you can add:

• Role-based limits
• Membership-based limits
• User-specific overrides
• Blocked login recovery by email
• Monitoring and alerts

Recommended rollout path #

If you are unsure where to start, use this order:

1. Global limit
