Lets look at the screens in detail…
Main Activity Log screen
The Activity Log Pro Main Log Screen serves as your WordPress site’s central command centre for monitoring and analyzing all user activities and system events in real-time. The dashboard provides administrators with complete visibility into every action performed on their website, featuring advanced filtering capabilities by date range, user, event type, IP address, and custom search terms.
The intuitive interface displays detailed activity logs in a sortable table format, showing critical information including timestamps, user details, IP addresses, event types, objects affected, and comprehensive action descriptions. With the built-in live monitoring feature, administrators can track suspicious activities as they happen without manual page refreshes, while bulk management tools enable efficient log maintenance and cleanup.
The dashboard also provides insights through real-time statistics showing total log entries and database size, making it an essential tool for WordPress security monitoring, compliance auditing, user behaviour analysis, and troubleshooting website issues.
Whether you’re investigating security incidents, monitoring user permissions, or maintaining detailed audit trails for compliance requirements, this comprehensive logging solution ensures no activity goes unnoticed on your WordPress site.
IP Address Location Mapping.
The IP Address Location Mapping (Premium feature) transforms raw IP addresses into geographical intelligence, providing WordPress administrators with powerful visual and security insights for enhanced site monitoring. This advanced geolocation system automatically maps every logged IP address to its corresponding physical location, displaying detailed information including city, region, country, postal codes, coordinates, ISP organization data, and timezone information through an intuitive interface that combines data tables with interactive mapping technology.
Featuring real-time IP lookup capabilities powered by reliable geolocation APIs, this tool enables administrators to instantly visualize user activity patterns, identify suspicious login attempts from unusual locations, and analyze visitor demographics for security assessment. The system provides both compact dropdown views for quick reference and full-screen interactive maps with detailed popups, complete with copy-to-clipboard functionality for easy data export and reporting.
Essential for security compliance, fraud detection, and user behaviour analysis, the IP Address Location Mapping feature helps website owners maintain comprehensive audit trails, detect potential security threats and gain valuable insights into their global user base while ensuring privacy compliance through configurable IP address masking options that balance security monitoring with data protection requirements.
Live Monitor.
The Live Monitor feature provides real-time tracking of activities as they happen on your WordPress site. This is particularly useful for:
- Monitoring active user sessions
- Detecting suspicious activities in real-time
- Troubleshooting issues as they occur
- Training team members on proper procedures
Settings.
Settings serves as your complete control hub for customizing and optimizing your WordPress activity monitoring system to meet your security, compliance, and operational requirements. This provides granular control over log retention policies, event tracking preferences, privacy compliance settings, and system integration options.
Some key features include flexible log retention periods (from 7 to 365 days), customizable pagination settings, and comprehensive event tracking toggles for users, posts, media, comments, plugins, themes, widgets, menus, options, and WordPress core updates.
The settings panel also offers advanced privacy controls for IP address storage compliance with GDPR regulations, sophisticated event filtering and exclusion capabilities using wildcard patterns to reduce database bloat from automated processes, and secure token based feed generation for JSON and RSS formats enabling seamless integration with SIEM systems (Security Information and Event Management).
Additional configuration options include admin menu positioning (Dashboard, Tools, Meu Top/Bottom), login page compliance notifications, expandable log detail controls, and premium features like enhanced IP privacy controls and advanced feed authentication.
Export Logs.
I wrote the Export Logs feature to be a comprehensive Data Export & Backup Solution.
The Export Logs screen provides a powerful and flexible export solution designed to extract, backup, or analyze website’s activity data. This tool allows you to generate detailed reports of all logged activities with advanced filtering options including date ranges, specific users, and event types (posts, pages, media, comments, plugins, themes, widgets, menus, and options).
Choose from multiple export formats including CSV (Excel-compatible), JSON (for developers), HTML (web-ready reports), and TXT (plain text) to meet your specific requirements. Whether you need compliance documentation, security audits, forensic analysis, or simple data backups, the Export Logs feature delivers timestamped records with complete user information, IP addresses, event descriptions, and metadata.
The intelligent export system automatically handles database compatibility across different plugin versions and generates downloadable files with professional formatting, making it an essential tool for website security monitoring, compliance reporting, and comprehensive activity analysis.

Stats & Insights.
The Activity Log Pro Stats & Insights screen is your analytics dashboard that transforms your WordPress activity data into actionable intelligence for enhanced event management. The “Today’s Statistics” section provides real-time stats with two viewing modes: Security Activity and Business Activity tabs, allowing administrators to focus on the metrics most relevant to their immediate needs.
The Security Activity tab delivers critical security metrics including failed login attempts, successful authentication events, new user registrations, and password changes, complete with intelligent insights such as login success rates and suspicious activity patterns. Meanwhile, the Business Activity tab focuses on operational metrics like content publishing activity, plugin and theme modifications, administrative setting changes, and media management activities, providing valuable insights into content workflow patterns and configuration trends.
Featuring interactive charts for daily activity trends, event type distribution, action type analysis, and peak activity time heatmaps, this dashboard enables data-driven decision making for WordPress site optimization. The system automatically identifies the most active users, busiest time periods, and potential security concerns while providing historical context through configurable date ranges (7, 14, or 30 days) and comprehensive statistics since plugin installation, making it an essential tool for WordPress administrators seeking to maintain optimal site performance, security, and user engagement.
