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.
<ul>
<li>If someone is trying to hack your site</li>
<li>When a post was published, and who published it</li>
<li>If a plugin/theme was activated/deactivated</li>
<li>Suspicious admin activity</li>
</ul>
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 in the database.
If you have more than a handful of users, keeping track of who did what is virtually impossible. This plugin solves that issue by tracking what actions were initiated by which users, and displaying it in an easy-to-use and easy-to-filter view on the dashboard of your WordPress site.
New! Introducing Email Logging – Capture all emails sent from your WordPress site for streamlined debugging and compliance. Gain better visibility into email communication, aiding both troubleshooting and record-keeping. This is particularly beneficial for WooCommerce stores, allowing you to easily track sent emails alongside other critical site events.
Export to CSV – Export your Activity Log data records to CSV. Developers can easily add support for custom data formats with our new dedicated Export API.
Data Privacy and GDPR Compliance – We provide the tools to help you adhere to GDPR compliance standards, including Export/Erasure of data via the WordPress Privacy Tools.

<li>User and user role responsible for the change</li>
<li>Source IP address from which the change originated</li>

Activity Log – Monitor & Record User Changes

I want to thank the developer for this plugin which I find very useful and well done. thanks for the work.

Very helpful

Love it! Have it installed on about ~300 sites, no issues except one site that was getting slammed with spam login attempts and the log grew to big to quick but ultimately this plugin helped identify the need to restrict the login url.  

Simple & Lightweight

WP Plugin guidelines state that plugins should not create a top level navigation element in /wp-admin if it's not necessary.

That and the ad for Elementor made for an instant uninstall for me.

Instantly showing ads and top level nav

Activity Track – User Activity Log


As someone who’s managed WordPress sites for years, I’ve tried a lot of activity log plugins but was never fully satisfied. Most were either too basic or cluttered with things I didn’t need.



With Activity Track – User Activity Log, I finally have a tool that gives me exactly what I was missing:




Clear logs with helpful AI explanations so I can understand what’s happening instantly.



Simple, useful notifications that keep me updated without overwhelming me.



Full control over what gets logged, so my dashboard stays clean and relevant.




This project grew out of real frustrations and the need for better insight into my sites. I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions so I can keep improving it for everyone.
