Pastmark — User Activity Logs

Pastmark — User Activity Logs is an easy & powerful WordPress activity log plugin that keeps a complete audit trail of everything that happens on your site. From failed login attempts to post edits, plugin changes, and WooCommerce orders, Pastmark records the user, timestamp, IP address, and contextual details behind every event — so you always know who did what, and when.

Whether you’re a site owner who wants peace of mind, an agency managing client sites, or a WooCommerce store tracking orders and product changes, Pastmark gives you a searchable, filterable activity log dashboard without slowing your site down.

Why use an activity log plugin?

Without a user activity log, it’s nearly impossible to answer basic questions after something goes wrong: Who deleted that page? Who changed the site’s permalink structure? Was that a failed login attempt or a real intrusion? Pastmark answers those questions automatically by logging activity as it happens, in a dedicated database table, so nothing is missed.

Track user & security activity

• Log successful and failed login attempts.
• Track user registrations, profile updates, and role changes.
• Monitor password changes and account-level activity.
• Keep a security audit log to help spot suspicious behavior early.

Track content changes

• Log post, page, and custom post type changes — created, published, updated, trashed, and restored.
• Log comment activity, including status changes and deletions.
• Track media library uploads, updates, and deletions.
• Log navigation menu changes.
• Track widget changes.

Track site & plugin activity

• Log plugin activation, deactivation, installs, and updates.
• Log theme activation, installs, and updates.
• Log changes to WordPress core settings (site title, URL, permalinks, timezone, and more).

WooCommerce activity log

If WooCommerce is active, Pastmark automatically extends its logging to your store:

• Log new WooCommerce orders, order status changes, edits, refunds, and deletions.
• Track product creation, updates, stock/status changes, and deletions.
• Log product category changes and deletions.
• Track coupon and product review activity.

Dashboard, reports & exports

• Searchable, filterable activity log dashboard inside wp-admin.
• At-a-glance activity summary via an optional dashboard widget.
• Daily and weekly email activity reports sent to the recipients you choose.
• Export logs to CSV for reporting, audits, or compliance needs.
• Automatic cleanup of old log entries with a configurable retention period.

Fine-grained control over what gets logged

• Exclude specific users, roles, or IP addresses from being logged.
• Exclude specific post types, statuses, plugins, themes, menus, or widgets.
• Exclude custom post meta and user meta fields.
• Choose from Essential, Recommended, or Complete event presets, or enable individual events yourself.

Privacy & security by design

• Activity logs are only accessible to administrators (manage_options capability).
• Integrates with WordPress’s built-in Personal Data Export and Erase Personal Data tools, so Pastmark-collected data is included in GDPR data requests.
• Does not send any data to external servers — everything stays on your site.
