WP Activity Log

Overview

WP Activity Log is an activity-logging plugin from Melapress, listed on WordPress.org since May 2013, which reported 300,000+ active installations in November 2026.^[19]

The plugin records what users do on a site or multisite network, including logins and logouts, failed login attempts and the changes users make, giving administrators a real-time timeline for spotting suspicious behaviour and investigating incidents.^[19] The developer positions it for troubleshooting outages, monitoring user accountability and supporting compliance with regulations and standards such as GDPR and PCI DSS.^[19] Premium editions add features such as writing logs to external files or syslog and integration with third-party SIEM platforms, and higher tiers add priority support with guaranteed response times.^[18]

WP Activity Log is not a firewall or scanner, so it is usually installed alongside one of the security suites above. It is particularly useful on sites with many editors or where audit trails are required.
