  • Doesn't work well anymore

    Sometimes it's working and sometimes it's not. - The option to empty the cart is not working neither. - I cannot select the right roles to allow to switch, it is always picking the first (alphabetical wise) role - There is no support anymore

  • PERFECT!

    It works!!! Better than the first one as you can switch users from the admin bar. Thanks so much for this!

  • Replaced 'user switching' by 'fast user switching'

    I was having problems with the popular User Switching plugin. Was searching for an alternative. And it seems I have found a better alternative in this Fast User Switching plugin. Does the job very well and also having extra features like 'recently switched users', 'switch by searching a user id', 'switch from Woo-commerce order page' etc. Very useful plugin without fuss.

  • Must have for admins

    This is a great quick tool to have as an admin! Saves so much time to just switch from the admin bar.
