WPMUDEV User Activity

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.

Who Is User Activity For?

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.
