Getting Started

Install and Activate

  1. In WordPress Admin, go to Plugins > Add New.
  2. Search for Logify.
  3. Install and activate the plugin.

Logify starts recording activity immediately after activation — no configuration required.

Verify the First Event Is Recorded

  1. Log out and log back in to your WordPress site.
  2. Go to Logify > Activity Logs.
  3. You should see your User Logged In event at the top.

Basic Setup (Optional)

Go to Logify > Settings to adjust:

  • Enable Tracking — turn logging on or off globally.
  • Log Retention Period — how long to keep logs (7 days, 30 days, or Keep Indefinitely).
  • Clear All Logs — wipe the activity log table when you need a fresh start.

You can leave everything on its defaults and Logify will work out of the box.

What Gets Tracked Out of the Box

  • User events (login, logout, registered, role changed, failed logins, brute-force bursts, password reset)
  • Post events (created, updated, published, deleted, trashed, restored, status changed)
  • Comment events (created, updated, deleted, spam transitions)
  • Plugin events (activated, deactivated, updated, installed, deleted, file edited)
  • Theme events (activated, switched, updated, installed, deleted, customised, file edited)
  • Media events (added, updated, deleted)
  • Taxonomy term events
  • Nav menu events
  • Sidebar widget changes
  • Key WordPress settings changes (Site Title, Admin Email, Default Role, and more)
