Overview

AN EASY TO USE & FULLY SUPPORTED WORDPRESS ACTIVITY LOG PLUGIN

Want to monitor and track your WordPress website activity? Find out exactly who does what on your WordPress website with this plugin. Activity Log is like an airplane’s black box that logs every action in the WordPress admin, and lets you see exactly what users are doing on your WordPress website.

  • If someone is trying to hack your site
  • When a post was published, and who published it
  • If a plugin/theme was activated/deactivated
  • Suspicious admin activity

It’s so essential; you’ll wonder how you ever managed your website without it. The plugin is also lightning fast and works behind the scenes, so it doesn\’t affect site and admin performance. For optimal performance, we built the plugin so that it runs on a separate table i…

It is easy and I use it for 2 webitess for now and completely free, thanks!

Mandatory on a multi user install. So helpful.
by Bjarne Oldrup·2 years ago

Being able to see what preceded an error on a website is so immensely helpful that you cannot imagine it before you actually try it.

Especially when working with clients. So many times have we been able to identify the cause of an issue, as we could see that “Oh, this person edited that page last Monday” or “Aha, function x stopped working after updating plugin y”.

It’s also valuable to check if someone else is working on a website, before making major changes, not disturbing each of the others work.

Activity Log is installed on all my websites, and has been for years. It fills a gap that, weirdly enough, is present in a CMS that encourages multiple users and roles.

Highly recommended. Five stars easily ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great user logs
