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.
