WP Admin Audit

The modern activity log solution for WordPress

WP Admin Audit is the powerful monitoring log plugin for WordPress.
Site owners and administrators can sleep better at night knowing the plugin keeps track of all site changes, security events, and admin activities.

Ever wondered

• who unpublished a post?
• when a plugin was deactivated?
• how that strange new admin account appeared?

The WordPress activity log in WP Admin Audit answers these questions.

Keep track of everything that happens on your WordPress sites to:

• Have a log of every change that’s made
• Know about security-relevant activities
• Find out who did what and when they did it
• Analyze the steps that led to a technical problem
• Identify and mitigate automated login attempts by bots

What is being logged?

The short answer: almost all changes on your WordPress site, but you can decide what is kept in the audit log.

The longer answer: WP Admin Audit has sensors that monitor the changes in your WordPress site and record what actions were performed by which user at which time on which item. A summary of the types of monitored events is below.

• Content: Page and Post changes (e.g. post created/updated/published/unpublished/deleted)
• Taxonomy: Changes to Categories and Tags (e.g. tag is created, updated, or deleted)
• User: User registration, user profile updates, password resets, application password creation/revocation, user deletions, login, and logout
• WordPress: Updates of the WordPress core version, settings updates (general/writing/reading/discussion/media/permalink/privacy settings)
• Plugin: Installation, activation, updates, deactivation, and deletion of plugins
• Theme: Installation, activation (theme switch), update, and deletion of themes
• Media: Media file and data creations, updates, and deletions
• Menu: Creation, updates, and deletions of menus
• Comment: Comment creations, updates, deletions, and status changes (approved, unapproved, spammed, etc.)
• File: File changes via the plugin file editor and theme file editor

See the complete list of sensors, i.e. the event types that are stored in the WordPress activity log.

For every event WP Admin Audit records:

• Event type
• Date and time
• IP address (the action/event originated from)
• Acting user (the user who did the change)
• Subject (the item affected e.g. a post the action is done with/to)
