Thanks! I will look into it and figure out why it's started logging out users.

@sitebastion,

That's not related to wpForo, that is WordPress Function which auto logout's users after a period of time.

In your case you have connection timeout problem, check the below Link:

Yeah no caching here. I look at the host to see if they implemented a time-out for logged in users in the server settings. Thanks!

As i posted above, this setting is not a session "timeout" for Wordpress or wpForo. Not related.

Also i can assure you that is not an issue with wpForo. I have seen that several times, when using LiteSpeed caching, that is why i mentioned "caching".

Anyways, gvectors will be able to help you more on this.

Pretty sure (99%) that this is not a caching issue.

I only use server-level cache, not WordPress caching plugins.

Issue did not appear until I loaded WPForo. Could be something else that happened at the same time. But the timing is suspicious and I remember having this problem before. Ideally I would like to be able to turn this off.

Anyone from gVectors care to wade in here?

I think the Online status timeout doesn't log out anyone. It is not for that reason.

You may have other session issues, not coming from wpForo (caching probably).

The Online status timeout setting under the Members tab seems to be logging out all users - admin, editor etc after the 4 minute default. I've changed the setting but is there any way to apply that to only particular user groups or to turn it off completely?
