This is one of the plugins that always work. I can’t explain why, as I am a layman. But I know that it has been working flawlessly for the past 4 years for me. Thanks for the plugin Mr Chirkov. The wo

Just works

This is a must have plugin if you build sites for others to use and maintain. Being able to identify the last user – before things went wrong – cuts time when called in to sort out any issues.

Love this plugin

So simple to install and activate. If you want to know who logs into your account, this will give you the information. Love it, love it, love it. This topic was modified 9 years, 4 months ago

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。
