Getting Started
Install and Activate
- In WordPress Admin, go to
Plugins > Add New. - Search for Logify.
- Install and activate the plugin.
Logify starts recording activity immediately after activation — no configuration required.
Verify the First Event Is Recorded
- Log out and log back in to your WordPress site.
- Go to
Logify > Activity Logs. - 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)
