<h4>Adminify Activity Logs: Free WordPress User Activity Log</h4>

Built for site owners and agencies who want a clean audit trail without paying for a premium tier or installing a heavy security suite. Everything in this readme is in the free plugin. No locked filters, no upsell modal, no nag screens.

Why run a WordPress activity log
If you don’t know who deactivated that plugin or deleted that post, you can’t tell a mistake from a security incident. Activity logs answer who-did-what-when. Any WordPress site with more than one person in the dashboard eventually needs one. Agency builds, membership sites, and multi-author blogs all run into the same problem: someone made a change, nobody owns up, and you spend an afternoon working out what happened. An audit trail saves that afternoon.
<h4>What Adminify Activity Logs does that the others don’t</h4>
