Integration of logging and notification makes a lot of sense
Helpful and nicely done. Especially the integration of logging and notification features makes a lot of sense and sets this plugin apart from others. On the other hand: The information provided in

Great plugin!
This is a great plugin that records almost everything except the video plays of my revolution video player WordPress plugin. I wish it could record when a user plays a video and when he stops on one.

Doesn’t work with Buddyboss
Since v3.9 ou v4, the plugin is useless with BudyBoss : nothing is sent, nothing is stored in the waiting list… It’s a shame, it was very helpful. Hope developers will have the time to work on it!
Essential plugin for WordPress!
