About

The Login as a User WordPress plugin lets you see the site exactly as another user sees it.

A customer says “my order is missing”. A member cannot open a course. A subscriber sees the wrong menu. Instead of asking for their password, you click Login as… next to their name. You are now that user. When you are done, click Go back to admin. That is the whole plugin.

Full setup, settings, and integrations are in the official documentation.

👉 Try the live demo. Credentials are shown on the login screen.

No password is requested, stored, or exposed. You can also start from the user’s profile page. See Accessing the Settings.

Upgrade to Login as User PRO for store and team-permission tools. Plans cover 1, 3, 5 or unlimited sites and include 1 year of updates and support, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

All PHP, JavaScript, and CSS in this plugin ship as readable source. The files named .min.js and .min.css in admin/ and public/ are not minified. The only minified file is the bundled Select2 library (admin/lib/select2/), whose source is at https://github.com/select2/select2.

The free version does not connect to any external service. Nothing leaves your server: settings are stored in your WordPress database, and switching users uses WordPress’s own login cookies.
