Get aware of any activities that are taking place on your dashboard! Imagine it like a black-box for your WordPress site.
We all know that it’s relatively easy to analyze what your visitors are looking for while browsing your site. But there is really no easy way to know what registered users (say, with an Administrator account or even Editors) are doing on the dashboard of your site. How can you know if a post was deleted? or if a plugin was activated/deactivated? or if the active theme was changed? If you have tens of users or more, you really can’t know who did it. This plugin tries to solve this issue by tracking what users do on the dashboard of your WordPress site.
As of this moment, the plugin logs things when:
- WordPress - Core Updates
- Posts - Created, Updated, Deleted
- Pages - Created, Updated, Deleted
- Custom Post Type - Created, Updated, Deleted
- Tags - Created, Edited, Deleted
- Categories - Created, Edited, Deleted
- Taxonomies - Created, Edited, Deleted
- Comments - Created, Approved, Unproved, Trashed, Untrashed, Spammed, Unspammed, Deleted
- Media - Uploaded, Edited, Deleted
- Users - Login, Logout, Login has failed, Update profile, Registered and Deleted
- Plugins - Installed, Updated, Activated, Deactivated, Changed
- Themes - Installed, Updated, Deleted, Activated, Changed (Editor and Customizer)
- Widgets - Added to a sidebar / Deleted from a sidebar, Order widgets
- Menus - A menu is being Created, Updated, Deleted
- Setting - General, Writing, Reading, Discussion, Media, Permalinks
- Options - Can be extend by east filter
- Export - User download export file from the site
- WooCommerce - Monitor all shop options
- bbPress - Forums, Topics, Replies, Taxonomies and other actions
- and much more...
New! You are now able to get email notifications once an event you have defined (via rules) has occured. This is useful in cases you must know right away when someone does something on your site.
