WP Remote Users Sync | Alexandre Froger

Description

If you run multiple websites and want to keep users separated, but synchronise them automatically and securely for specific user operations, then WP Remote Users Sync is the plugin to use.

Overview

This plugin adds the following major features to WordPress:

• WP Remote Users Sync admin page: a settings page under “Settings > WP Remote Users Sync” to manage remote sites, security settings, import/export users, and view activity logs.
• Remote Sites: manage an unlimited amount of connected sites with configuration for incoming and outgoing User Actions (Login, Logout, Create, Update, Delete, Password, Role and Metadata).
• Security: WP Remote Users Sync is the only plugin available allowing users to be synchronised with true layers of security in place. All communications are OpenSSL AES-256-CBC encrypted, HMAC SHA256 signed, token-validated and IP-validated.
• Import and Export Users: connected websites’ existing user base can be synchronised manually first thanks to the provided import/export tool.
• Activity Logs: when enabled, all communications between connected sites are logged for admin review and troubleshooting.
• Synchronise all user data: compatible out of the box with WooCommerce, Ultimate Membership, Theme My Login, Gravity Forms, and all user-related plugins as long as they rely on WordPress user metadata and manipulate users with the WordPress user functions.
• Customizable: developers can add their own User Actions using action and filter hooks, and more – see the developers documentation.
• Unlimited websites, unlimited features: there are no restrictions in the number of websites to connect together, and no premium version feature restrictions shenanigans – WP Remote Users Sync is fully-featured right out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Please read the plugin FAQ, there is a lot that may help you there!

WP Remote Users Sync is regularly updated, and bug reports are welcome, preferably on Github, especially for advanced troubleshooting.

Each bug report will be addressed in a timely manner, but general inquiries and issues reported on the WordPress forum may take significantly longer to receive a response.

Only issues occurring with included integrated plugins (or plugin features), core WordPress and default WordPress themes (incl. WooCommerce Storefront) will be considered without compensation.

Troubleshooting involving 3rd-party plugins or themes will require compensation in any case, and will not be addressed on the WordPress support forum.

Integrations

Although WP Remote Users Sync works out of the box with most combinations of WordPress plugins and themes, there are some edge cases necessitating integration, with code included in the core files of WP Remote Users Sync executing under certain conditions.

Integrations added to core are limited to popular plugins and themes: any extra code specific to a handful of installations require a separate custom plugin not shared with the community (decision at the discretion of the WP Remote Users Sync plugin author).

A typical example of case needing integration is autologin (like in WooCommerce during checkout): some plugins may set the current user and session upon user creation without calling wp_login WordPress action hook (even though they absolutely should), which can result in the user being logged in on the local site but not the remote sites.

Other examples include plugins or themes directly updating the database with SQL queries instead of using WordPress built-in functions, destroying sessions with low-level functions instead of using the built-in WordPress method, etc.

If such need for plugin integration arises, website administrators may contact the author of WP Remote Users Sync to become a patron.

All integrations are to be funded by plugin users, with downpayment and delivery payment, at the plugin author’s discretion, without exception.
The patron in return may be credited with their name (or company name) and a link to a page of their choice in the plugin’s Changelog.
