<h3>What WordPress changes WP Activity Log tracks</h3>
A website activity log is important for improving troubleshooting, compliance, user management, and security. 
Get WP Activity Log and keep track of events on your site. The log not only tells you that a post, a user profile, or an object was updated, it also lets you know exactly what changed, when, and includes a user log (by whom), so you always have the information you need.
Below is a summary of the changes that the plugin can keep a record of:
<ul>
<li>
Post, page, and custom post type changes: Status, content changes, title, URL, custom field, and other metadata changes
</li>
<li>
Tags and category changes: Creating, modifying, deleting, and adding/removing them from posts
</li>
<li>
Widget and menu changes: Creating, modifying, or deleting them

</li>
</ul>
<h4>Event details recorded</h4>

<ul>
<li>Date & time (and milliseconds) of when it happened</li>
<li>User & role of the user who did the change</li>
<li>Source IP address from where the change happened</li>

WP Activity Log

The plugin logs just about anything you might need in WP. The free version has enough features to fit the needs for a simple setup where you might want to have basic monitoring on the site. The premium version is excellent with integration options for CloudWatch on AWS which allow for consolidated log management when running the plugin across a number of sites. The dev team is also super helpful and responsive! 

Great plugin and great integrations!

The plugin has been excellent.  It gives us the data we need to track usage.  Even more than that is the phenomenal service they provide. Highly recommended. 

Great Plugin and Support

Thanks, it helps me a lot to track user activity. 

Detail Orientated


If you are willing to pay for the premium version then you have an awesome plugin (probably the best of breed).



BUT the version in the repository lacks even the basic functionality (e.g. search) needed for it to be useful.


Free version is useless

Easy to use


Active support, prompt response time, and attention to detail.



Functionality is great, however, there is an excessive amount of "purchase me" links that clutter the admin menu.


Active support, prompt response time, and attention to detail.


They answered quickly and offered a solution that was directly applicable to my situation.


Prompt, efficient, professional support.


Outstanding plugin with fabulous support. 


Breath of Fresh Air


I work for a marketing company and am in charge of keeping all of our contracted sites up to date, in doing so we also need to track who is doing what, where, and when... this plugin does exactly that.



Futhermore, I had an slight issue today, the support team literally had a fix to me within minutes.  Wish all plugin devs were like you folks :)



Thank you very much!


Excellent Tracking and Support


Really useful solution and great support!


Great solution!


Someone must not have thought the update with the email summaries through, what about people who use this on a global scale. Perhaps 100s of websites all now emailing them ever single week. The feature is nice, the implementation is shockingly short sighted. 


Ill advised update


Because my previous review was removed I am adding this one. You still get one star. Bad decisions guys.


Re-Review


Works pretty well.



It has been a lifesaver when my users accidentally break things. Helped me quickly identify issues and take action. 



Highly recommended for keeping track of changes and maintaining control over your site! Nice you can "hide it" from other users.


Perfect! A Must-Have!

The #1 user-rated activity log plugin for event logging, activity monitoring and change tracking.
