Description

Blog Activity records events from the WordPress site (new posts, comments, page updates, and user registrations) and displays this timeline publicly via a sidebar widget or shortcode. Designed for collaborative sites with multiple authors and multisite networks, it groups each event by type and responsible user, showing visitors the real publishing pace and recent blog activity in a single block.

Main Features of Blog Activity

    Chronological listing of posts, comments, edits, and registrations as they occur.
  • Ready-to-use sidebar widget
    Drag-and-drop block for sidebars that automatically renders the activity.
  • Shortcode for pages and posts
    Insert the feed into any content using a single shortcode in the editor.
  • Filters by activity type
    Select to display only posts, comments, edits, or user registrations.
  • Support for multisite networks
    Consolidates activity from all network subsites into a single timeline.

How to Download Blog Activity

Blog Activity is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and click activate. Once activated, the activity widget is available in Appearance > Widgets and the shortcode can be inserted into any page.

On sites with multiple collaborators or multisite networks, Blog Activity works as an always-visible editorial board, translating behind-the-scenes work into public content. The combination of widget and shortcode offers flexibility in placement, while filters by event type allow adjusting the timeline’s tone according to the focus of each page or site section.
