Overview
Audit Trail is a plugin to keep track of what is going on inside your blog. It does this by recording certain actions (such as who logged in and when) and storing this information in the form of a log. Not only that but it records the full contents of posts (and pages) and allows you to restore a post to a previous version at any time.
To summarise:
- Log of user actions inside your blog – useful for finding out who did what in a multi-user system
- Extensible, allowing other plugins the ability to add and display items in the Audit Trail
- Ability to track registered user page visits
- Fully localized
Audit Trail is available in:
- English
- Estonian by Lembit Kivisik
- Belorussian by Marcis G
- Simplified Chinese by maoanyuan
- German by Andreas Beraz
- Japanese by Chestnut
- Romanian by Mikalay Lis…

Simple and useful

As the title says: simple and useful.
ineffective plugin
by mageguild·11 years ago
Good idea, but all it shows is that a user saved a post. It does not say which page or what was changed.
Loading Issue

Author is using load_textdomain instead of load_plugin_textdomain function. This may break behavior of WordPress, because some filters and actions won’t be executed anymore.
