Description

User Activity records user actions in WordPress in real time (logins, post creation and editing, comments, and other site events), storing the IP and browser of each interaction in the administration dashboard. Aimed at those who need to audit access and track content changes on sites with multiple editors, it triggers notifications via email or directly in the admin when relevant events occur, offering an auditable trail to investigate suspicious activities.

Key Features of User Activity

  • Real-time logging
    Captures logins, post creation and editing, and comments as they happen on the site.
  • IP and browser collection
    Stores the IP address and browser identification for every recorded action.
  • Configurable notifications
    Sends alerts via email or displays notices in the admin when selected events occur.
  • Internal audit dashboard

  • Multisite compatibility
    Works on WordPress networks, consolidating monitoring for multiple sites in the same installation.

Benefits of User Activity

    Shows who changed what and when on sites with multiple authors and reviewers.
  • Early incident detection
    Immediate notifications reduce the time between a suspicious event and a response.
  • History for internal compliance

Who Is User Activity For?

  • Those who maintain WordPress sites with multiple authors or reviewers and need to know who changed each piece of content.
  • Those who manage portals with open registration and want to monitor access and suspicious user activity.
  • Those who operate multisite networks and need a consolidated view of actions taken across all sites.

How to Download User Activity

User Activity is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate; the activity log will appear in a dedicated menu in the administration dashboard immediately after activation.

On WordPress sites where multiple people write, moderate, or manage content without visibility into what each person is doing, any improper change becomes a mystery. User Activity solves this by turning the dashboard into a continuous record of who did what, including IP, browser, and time, useful both for diagnosing human-caused issues and for reinforcing the site’s security posture.
