WordPress doesn’t provide a built-in way to see what your users have been doing in the admin area. If a post gets deleted, a plugin gets deactivated, or a suspicious login happens — there’s no record of it.

ActiLog Admin Event Monitor solves this by logging every meaningful admin action. You’ll always know who did what, when, and from where.

It’s built for multi-author blogs, client sites, and agencies who need accountability without the complexity of enterprise audit tools.

What gets tracked

Login, logout, and failed login attempts
Posts and pages — create, edit, publish, trash, delete
User management — registration, deletion, role changes, profile edits
Plugins — activate, deactivate, delete
Themes — switches
Settings — core WordPress option changes
Categories and tags — create, edit, delete
Comments — new comments and status changes
Media — uploads and deletions
Menus — create, update, delete navigation menus

Features

Records IP address and browser info for each event
Filter logs by event type, user, or search keywords
Export logs to CSV

How it works

That’s it — activity is being recorded

All data stays in your database. Nothing is sent externally.
