Is it at all possible to get a user’s ID in a function right at the point of log out?
I tried to hook it to wp_logout
, but it just returns null when trying to get the user’s info.
I’m wondering if there is another hook that comes before wp_logout
destroy’s the session that would enable me to capture the ID and do something with it.
I simply want to update a user meta field with the time of logout.
Is there any way of doing this?
I think I figured this one out.
I had misread this answer and hooked the function I wrote to wp_clear_auth_cookie
(actually a function itself!) instead of clear_auth_cookie
(the real hook), so that wasn’t working. But now using the real hook, I think it might be. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Below is the function with the hook.
function users_last_login() {
$cur_login = current_time(timestamp, 0);
$userinfo = wp_get_current_user();
update_user_meta( $userinfo->ID, 'last_login', $cur_login );
}
add_action('clear_auth_cookie', 'users_last_login', 10);
