<p>I use the Recent Comments Dashboard widget every single day. It’s the first way I check up on recent activity on my sites. Now that I’ve started using bbPress to power a forum on my site I would like the same bird’s eye view of it too.</p>
<p>This plugin adds a widget to your WordPress Dashboard that pulls in recent activity from your bbPress-driven forum. It will pull in recent topics and replies. The bbPress plugin is required.</p>
<p>The widget displays all new topics and replies, with the ability to either open the post to edit it or to view it on the front end of the site. Currently only admins (or more specifically, those with the <code>manage_options</code> capability) will see the widget.</p>
<p>The plugin roadmap looks like this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add the basic hover over actions that the Recent Comments widget has (Edit, Spam, Trash).</li>
<li>Add ability to reply to topics and replies, same as the Recent Comments widget.</li>
</ul>


Dashboard Forum Activity

Quickly review your bbPress forum activity using a widget on your WordPress Dashboard.

<p>WP User Activity is the best way to log activity in WordPress. Activity can be sorted, filtered, and viewed per-user, along with session data for logged in users and IP addresses & user-agents for others.</p>
<p>Activity is broken down into object “Types” and “Actions.” Types are the objects being acted upon, and actions are what is being done to them. If you’re familiar with BuddyPress, this should feel pretty comfortable.</p>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<pre><code>Admin logged in 2 minutes ago.

Admin created the post "Hello World" 33 seconds ago.

Admin created the topic "I need help!" 5 days ago.

WP User Activity

Is a great plugin, logs everything in a separate post type

Support third party plugins (Easy Digital Downloads, Woocommerce, etc) could be awesome

Nice work Jhon!



Nice work!

Works fine, integrates with WP User Profile. Missing a way to trash old entries automatically, but no match for a developer to add.

Add auto trashing after x weeks and it's get 5 stars.

Great for logging user activity, yours (admin's) or other users
