<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.
</code></pre>
<h4>Available Actions</h4>
<ul>
<li>Attachments (Upload, Edit, Delete)</li>
<li>Comments (Create, Pending, Approve, Unaprove, Trash, Untrash, Spam, Unspam, Delete)</li>
<li>Core (Update, Auto-update)</li>
<li>Exports (Download)</li>
<li>Menus (Create, Update, Delete)</li>
<li>Plugins (Install, Update, Activate, Deactivate, Edit, Delete)</li>
<li>Posts (Create, Update, Delete, Trash, Untrash, Spam, Unspam, Future)</li>

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

<p>This plugin uses hooks in the opposite way most plugins do.  You add <code>do_action</code> where you want to do some logging and this plugin will save it to the database only when active.</p>
<h4>Log Activity</h4>
<p>This plugin now logs plugin activity (when activated, deactivated, deleted, updated, installed), when wordpress is updated, and when functions are used wrong or deprecated.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>do_action( 'wp_log_info', 'So far ok', 'Details of what is ok.' );
if ( $something_bad_happened ) {
    do_action( 'wp_log_error', 'This Happened!', 'Details of what happened.' );
    ...
}
</code></pre>
<p>See Tools->Logs to view, delete, and export the logs on the admin side.  Only users with the manage_options capability will have access.</p>
<p>This plugin automatically logs deprecated and doing_it_wrong errors.  The rest is what you add to your code.</p>
<p>You can log what functions will be run for a specific action or filter.  For example if you want to see what runs in the ‘init’ hook:</p>
<pre><code>function check_init_hook() {
    do_action( 'wp_log_debug_hook', 'init' );
}
add_filter( 'init', 'check_init_hook', 0 );
</code></pre>
<p>The following are the different levels of logging to add to your code.  You can use any level how you see fit, the descriptions of each level are just guidelines.</p>
<h4>Emergency</h4>
<p>System is unusable<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_emergency’, $label, $message );</p>
<h4>Alert</h4>
<p>Action must be taken immediately.<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_alert’, $label, $message );</p>
<h4>Critical</h4>
<p>Critical conditions.<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_critical’, $label, $message );</p>
<h4>Error</h4>
<p>Runtime errors that do not require immediate action but should typically be logged and monitored.<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_error’, $label, $message );</p>
<h4>Warning</h4>
<p>Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_warning’, $label, $message );</p>
<h4>Notice</h4>
<p>Normal but significant events.<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_notice’, $label, $message );</p>
<h4>Info</h4>
<p>Interesting events.<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_info’, $label, $message );</p>
<h4>Debug</h4>
<p>Detailed debug information.<br />
    do_action( ‘wp_log_debug’, $label, $message );</p>


WP Log Action

Add error or debug logging in your code and leave it there.  Logs will only be recorded with this plugin, otherwise will be ignored.
