Core Capabilities
Activity Log Pro installs directly to your WordPress admin menu and records all site activity with no external services required. It tracks standard events including user logins, post and page edits, plugin and theme installs, updates, deletions, and core WordPress system changes. All logged entries are visible in a single central dashboard that is accessible only to authorized site administrators.
The plugin includes multiple log viewing modes: a compact view for fast scanning, an expanded detail view for full context, direct JSON output for raw data access, and IP address mapping with both compact and interactive map views to show the geographic location of each action origin. Advanced filtering tools let users sort logs by action type, user, date range, or IP, and reduce unnecessary noisy data to focus on critical events.
Export and Integration Options
You can export full sets of log data in four formats: JSON, CSV, HTML, and plain TXT. The plugin supports native integration with WooCommerce to track store-specific events including product edits, order changes, and settings modifications. It also logs activity from Yoast SEO to capture all search configuration changes made on your site.
Additional built-in features include real-time live monitoring, a stats and insights dashboard with trend charts, daily usage statistics, and a full settings panel that lets you customize data retention rules, exclude specific user roles or user accounts from logging, and adjust other logging parameters to match your site requirements.
Intended Audience and Use Cases
