FAQ

The plugin records a login when a user signs in after it’s been activated. WordPress doesn’t store historical login data, so existing accounts will start populating their “Last Login” the next time each user logs in. Hovering the dash shows a tooltip explaining the same.

The date follows your site’s general date format (Settings General); the exact time appears on hover. To override the date format, use the wpll_date_format filter:

add_filter( 'wpll_date_format', function() {     return 'Y-m-d H:i'; } );

Filter wpll_current_user_can and return a capability check. Login tracking still happens — only column visibility is gated:

add_filter( 'wpll_current_user_can', function() {     return current_user_can( 'manage_options' ); } );
