wp_verify_nonce( string $nonce, string|int $action = -1 )
Verify that correct nonce was used with time limit.
Description
The user is given an amount of time to use the token, so therefore, since the UID and $action remain the same, the independent variable is the time.
Parameters
- $nonce
-
(Required) Nonce that was used in the form to verify
- $action
-
(Optional) Should give context to what is taking place and be the same when nonce was created.
Default value: -1
Return
(false|int) False if the nonce is invalid, 1 if the nonce is valid and generated between 0-12 hours ago, 2 if the nonce is valid and generated between 12-24 hours ago.
