すばらしいです!

そこまで必要のないログは取らない仕様なので大変重宝しております。 要望としましては、 プラグインのアップデートした後にこちらのログ一覧を見ると 『プラグインをアップデートしました。』と出てきますが、 これだとプラグイン名やバージョンがわからないので、 『プラグイン「●●」をver●●からver●●にアップデートしました。』 このような感じだとわかりやすいように思いました。

Great!!!

It’s really convenient!! Thank you!

Excellent!!

色々なことをログに残せるので、どう変更したか後で見返せれて便利です! そして、XML-RPCのログインをwarmで警告してくれるので、改竄を防げれて安心です。 もうこのプラグインなしではやっていけられません。
