I'm about to start working on a bespoke website that will run alongside a clients Wordpress site. I need it so that when the user logs in to Wordpress they can access the logged in section of the bespoke website without having to enter new details.
I haven't been able to find out exactly how Wordpress manages logged in users. From research it doesn't look like it uses PHP Sessions. I have found reference to an is_user_logged_in() function.
Does this mean Wordpress stores something in the database to say a user is logged in, then delete the value after a certain amount of time, or is something else being done?
