Activity Log Pro is restricted to administrators only, as designed. The plugin requires the manage_options capability for all features including viewing activity logs, dashboard widgets, export functionality, settings, and integrations. This means only users with Administrator or Super Admin roles can access the plugin. Editors, Authors, Contributors, and Subscribers cannot view or interact with any Activity Log Pro features. This restriction is intentional for security reasons since activity logs contain sensitive audit trail information about user actions, system changes, security events, and content modifications that should only be accessible to site administrators. – I am are open to developing this further for user specified access levels if requested.

This can happen if multiple plugins are tracking the same activities or if there are plugin conflicts. Check for other activity logging plugins and consider deactivating them to avoid conflicts.

Solution: Enable IP anonymization in the privacy settings, set appropriate data retention periods, and ensure you have procedures for handling user data deletion requests. Premium users have additional privacy controls available.

Solution: Once logs are deleted (either manually or through automatic cleanup), they cannot be recovered. I recommend regular exports for important data and careful consideration of your retention settings.

Solution: Reduce your data retention period, enable database optimization in settings, and consider excluding less important activity types from tracking in Settings > Excluded Option Names. The plugin is optimized for performance, but very high-traffic sites may benefit from these adjustments.

Solution: Check your activity tracking settings. Some activity types might be disabled, or the user role might be excluded from tracking. Go to Settings → General to review your configuration
