📖 Overview

User Logs is an audit trail and activity logging plugin for WordPress administrators. It tracks critical events across your site: successful and failed user logins, user logouts, new user registrations, and comment submissions.

Equipped with interactive Google Line Charts, administrators can instantly pinpoint sudden spikes in registration bots, brute-force login attempts, or suspicious comment spam. The built-in IP filtering lets you isolate activity from specific addresses to investigate and block attackers promptly.

🔒
Internal Audit Trail Only
Activity logs are stored solely within your own WordPress database. User Logs never transmits telemetry, visitor data, or IP addresses to any external server.

⭐ Key Features

  • Comprehensive Event Tracking: Logs user logins, logouts, new user registrations, and posted comments automatically.
  • Fight Spam & Brute Force: Filter logs by IP address to immediately identify suspicious bots and malicious actors.
  • Interactive Google Line Charts: Visual representation of activity over time. Easily spot surges in user registrations or repeated login attempts.
  • Detailed Audit Records: View IP address, user role, username, precise timestamp, and browser user-agent for every event.
  • Configurable Retention: Prune logs automatically to maintain database efficiency without consuming excessive storage.
  • Lightweight Architecture: Built with lean database indexes so logging does not impact site performance or page load times.
