<p>Bat Activity Log helps site owners and administrators understand what changed, who changed it, and when it happened.</p>
<p>The plugin records activity across users, content, media, comments, plugins, themes, settings, updates, privacy workflows, and other core WordPress operations. Logs are stored in a custom indexed table for fast filtering and large datasets.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>

<li>Record post, page, media, comment, taxonomy, menu, widget, and settings activity.</li>
<li>Monitor plugin, theme, and WordPress update activity.</li>
<li>Filter logs by event type, action, severity, user, object, IP address, and date range.</li>
<li>Use saved views, quick filters, bulk actions, CSV export, and a structured log detail drawer.</li>
<li>Configure retention cleanup, privacy controls, alert rules, and scheduled reports.</li>
<li>Verify log integrity with a tamper-evident hash chain.</li>
<li>Use WP-CLI commands for stats, cleanup, export, repair, reporting, benchmarking, and integrity verification.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Event coverage</h4>
