wp_validate_logged_in_cookie() WP 3.9.0

Validates the logged-in cookie.

Checks the logged-in cookie if the previous auth cookie could not be validated and parsed.

This is a callback for the 'determine_current_user' filter, rather than API.

No Hooks.

Return

Int/false. User ID if validated, false otherwise. If a user ID from an earlier filter callback is received, that value is returned.

Usage

wp_validate_logged_in_cookie( $user_id );

$user_id(int/true/false) (required)

The user ID (or false) as received from the determine_current_user filter.
