Activity Logs
Know exactly who did what, and when, a full WordPress audit trail.
Activity Logs records every meaningful action on your site: logins, content edits, plugin and theme changes, settings tweaks, and user management. It's the accountability your team and clients need, and the forensic record you'll want the moment something goes wrong.
In short
Activity Logs is a WP Tailwatch feature that records a full audit trail of WordPress user and site activity, logins, content edits, plugin and theme changes, settings changes, and user management. It captures who did what and when, giving teams accountability and a forensic record after any incident.
What it does
Every action, recorded.Stamped with the user, time, and IP.
When multiple people touch a WordPress site, things change, and without a record, you're left guessing who broke what. Activity Logs writes down every meaningful event so there's always a clear, time-stamped answer.
- Logs logins, logouts, and failed attempts
- Tracks content edits, publishes, and deletions
- Captures plugin, theme, and settings changes
- Monitors user creation, role changes, and deletions
How it works
From action to audit trail in three steps.Capture, store, then review anytime.
Every event is captured with the user, timestamp, and IP, then written to a searchable trail you can open the moment you need answers. No setup and no manual logging on your part.
1
Capture the event
Whenever someone logs in, edits content, changes a plugin, or updates a setting, Activity Logs records it with the user, timestamp, and IP address.
2
Organize and store
Events are written to a searchable, filterable trail so you can sort by user, action type, or date, across every site you manage from one dashboard.
3
Review or investigate

Why it matters
Why an audit trail matters.Accountability today, forensics when it counts.
WordPress runs roughly 43% of all websites, and the more people who touch a site, editors, freelancers, agencies, clients, the harder it is to know who changed what. Source: W3Techs CMS usage statistics. Without a record, a missing page, a flipped setting, or a compromised account becomes a guessing game.
Activity Logs removes the guesswork. By recording who did what and when, it gives teams day-to-day accountability and gives you a forensic trail when an incident hits, so you can reconstruct events, contain the damage, and prove what happened. That's the WP Tailwatch approach: a clear record, always on, across every site.
