WordPress has an auto-update feature that can automatically install software updates for you. This is wonderful for the security of your site, because you never have to worry about receiving a security patch. However, the auto-updates can also occasionally cause issues.
That happened this week with the release of WordPress 6.2.1, which broke some shortcodes on user sites.
At the end of 2022, we launched hosted error logs for WordPress sites. If something goes wrong on your WordPress site, you can use this new feature to quickly find and understand the problem.
However, sometimes the people who help you understand the problem are not part of your Logtivity account. You may need to send an error message to a plugin or theme developer. Or perhaps you’re working with a contract developer. Or maybe you just want to share an error on social media.
All of that is now possible with Logtivity. You can create public links for any entry in your site’s error logs.
Here at Logtivity, our goal is to help you sleep well at night. We track all the activity and errors on your WordPress sites.
To ensure you can sleep well, we take every precaution to make sure your data is safe. A key part of keeping your site safe is a good Two Factor Authentication system.
At the beginning of 2022, we made a really big pivot here at Logtivity. Amongst the changes was a commitment to centralizing as many features as possible.
As we describe in the article linked above, the original vision of Logtivity was to give granular control to customers with large sites.
Logtivity has a new “heartbeat” feature that makes sure your sites are always recording activity log and error log data.
The “Heartbeat” feature will let you know if your sites have been disconnected from Logtivity.
More than 1,000 sites are now connected to the Logtivity platform.
We reached this number in our own internal systems, and also on the WordPress.org plugin directory.
1,000 active installs is both a small deal and quite a big deal.
It’s a small deal because it’s only 1,000 installs. This is tiny by WordPress standards where some popular plugins have millions of installs. However, it’s also quite a big deal for a couple of reasons.
Error logs are one of the most useful tools for anyone running a WordPress. Your site’s error log will record all the error messages generated by WordPress.
These logs are a goldmine of information. Developers find error logs really helpful when they need to diagnose and troubleshoot issues with a WordPress website.
Logtivity 2.2 is available now and it has lots of improvements for your site’s hosted activity logs. These new improvements make it easier to find exactly the log entries you want.
If something goes wrong on your site, you can trust Logtivity to help you find and solve the problem quickly.
I’m going to introduce the three big, helpful changes that you’ll see in your Logtivity account:
If you saw the headline on this post and kept reading, you probably like stories about business challenges.
Good, because this story is about about business challenges.
I’m Steve and my partner here at Logtivity is Ralph. And this is the tale of the challenges we faced in 2022.
We’ll tell you about how we pivoted and pivoted and pivoted our WordPress SaaS in 2022, trying to find the right approach.
This story is also about how the kindness of some customers can make all the difference.
Here’s the story of three big pivots we made to Logtivity in 2022.
Here at Logtivity we solve problems faced by WordPress agencies and anyone who is in charge of lots of WordPress sites.
One problem that agencies kept talking about was error logs: they all agree that hosting companies have terrible error reporting. When something goes wrong with a site, it’s really difficult to track down the problem using the hosting company’s tools.
