Shorter WooCommerce Guest Sessions
Makes WooCommerce forget guest shopping sessions (cart contents and entered details) after 24 hours instead of two days, so less customer data sits in the sessions table.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
// Hours a guest session lasts.
$wpide_wc_session_hours = 24;
add_filter( 'wc_session_expiration', function () use ( $wpide_wc_session_hours ) {
return (int) $wpide_wc_session_hours * HOUR_IN_SECONDS;
} );
add_filter( 'wc_session_expiring', function () use ( $wpide_wc_session_hours ) {
return max( 1, (int) $wpide_wc_session_hours - 1 ) * HOUR_IN_SECONDS;
} );Notes
Carts of guests who come back after more than a day will be empty.
