What it does
When something changes on a WordPress site and nobody remembers doing it, tracking down the cause can take hours. This plugin solves that by logging events as they happen. Each entry shows the activity and the user behind it, and system actions such as scheduled cleanups or WP-CLI tasks are labeled with the server's IP address. That record helps you spot suspicious behavior, answer questions during troubleshooting and keep a history for compliance audits.
Logs are searchable and can be filtered, so you can find a specific event without scrolling through everything. You can set up email alerts for critical changes, focus monitoring on particular user roles and schedule reports for clients or colleagues. It also works across WordPress multisite networks with site-level viewing permissions, and it offers sensitive data masking and secure log storage options to support GDPR compliance.
Best for
- Administrators who need a record of who changed what
- Agencies managing client sites with several users
- Multisite networks needing central activity monitoring
