The modern activity log solution for WordPress
<a href="https://wpadminaudit.com/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=WADA&utm_content=plugin+repo+description" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Admin Audit</a> is the powerful monitoring log plugin for WordPress. 
Site owners and administrators can sleep better at night knowing the plugin keeps track of all site changes, security events, and admin activities.
Ever wondered
<ul>
<li>who unpublished a post?</li>
<li>when a plugin was deactivated?</li>
<li>how that strange new admin account appeared?</li>
</ul>
The WordPress activity log in WP Admin Audit answers these questions.
Keep track of everything that happens on your WordPress sites to:
<ul>
<li>Have a log of every change that’s made</li>
<li>Know about security-relevant activities</li>
<li>Find out who did what and when they did it</li>
<li>Analyze the steps that led to a technical problem</li>
<li>Identify and mitigate automated login attempts by bots</li>
</ul>
<h3>What is being logged?</h3>
The short answer: almost all changes on your WordPress site, but you can decide what is kept in the audit log.
The longer answer: WP Admin Audit has sensors that monitor the changes in your WordPress site and record what actions were performed by which user at which time on which item. A summary of the types of monitored events is below.
<ul>
<li>Content: Page and Post changes (e.g. post created/updated/published/unpublished/deleted)</li>
<li>Taxonomy: Changes to Categories and Tags (e.g. tag is created, updated, or deleted)</li>
<li>User: User registration, user profile updates, password resets, user deletions, login, and logout</li>
<li>WordPress: Updates of the WordPress core version, settings updates (general/writing/reading/discussion/media/permalink/privacy settings)</li>
<li>Plugin: Installation, activation, updates, deactivation, and deletion of plugins</li>
<li>Theme: Installation, activation (theme switch), update, and deletion of themes</li>
<li>Media: Media file and data creations, updates, and deletions</li>
<li>Menu: Creation, updates, and deletions of menus</li>
<li>Comment: Comment creations, updates, deletions, and status changes (approved, unapproved, spammed, etc.)</li>
<li>File: File changes via the plugin file editor and theme file editor</li>
</ul>

For every event WP Admin Audit records:
<ul>
<li>Event type</li>
<li>Date and time</li>
<li>IP address (the action/event originated from)</li>
<li>Acting user (the user who did the change)</li>
<li>Subject (the item affected e.g. a post the action is done with/to)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Features (free)</h3>

<ul>
<li>Powerful search & filtering: Powerful free-text search as well as filtering by all sorts of categories makes it easy to find the data you are interested in.</li>
<li>Administrator & user audit: Find inactive administrator accounts and review the users’ last login dates. Check on their individual activity log.</li>
<li>Login attempts audit: Monitor logins to be aware of automated (brute-force) attacks and to identify IP addresses for blocking.</li>

WP Admin Audit

I just tested this plugin, and it is fantastic. The Search list in the logs works like a charm, besides events, I can search for logs for individual users as well, and also the way we can filter the log is great too !

The only thing that worries me for now, is that in the settings page, when I'm setting the "Keep events for:" is not "registering". After saving the my changes, every other change made on the Settings page, is being shown correctly, but the "keep events for:" field, becomes empty from the number of days I had set it to. The plugin however correctly logs the change, and right now I have it for 1 day. In a day or two perhaps, it will be clear if that part of the settings page actually works.

It would be nice if we could manually delete the logs, and also have the ability to export them...

Update: Looking at the database values, it seems that the correct value to keep the events for is set (1 day in my test case), so it's a matter of displaying the value in the settings page, and not actually setting it. I am also guessing that to manually delete all the data, is to set the setting to delete all the data when the plugin is uninstalled, and then uninstall and reinstall it again, or manually delete the records from the database, which for many users would be a dangerous task...

BTW: Tested on Xampp Localserver, Windows 10, PHP 7.4.x, Chrome Browser, WP 5.9, with many plugins active among them Gutenberg 12.5.0 RC1.

Thanks,
Nick.

Fantastic !

One of the better activity logger out there I must say. Love the list of sensors which I hope will keep growing, and I especially love the event details screen. Keep up the good work!

Love the sensors and event detail!

WP Admin Audit monitors the security-relevant activities on your site, keeps an event log and tells you when something out of the ordinary happens.
