Logtivity Records Changes to WordPress and Plugin Settings

Written by Steve Burge on 17th June 2022.

The most frequent users of Logtivity are WordPress agencies and maintenance services, so we listen really carefully to feedback from agencies.

Over the last few weeks we’ve been talking with agencies who want to record changes to WordPress and also plugin settings.

One agency wanted to monitor changes to WordPress permalinks because an issue had caused one site to crash. Another agency wanted to monitor changes to WooCommerce options because a mistaken change had impacted the checkout on a site. We’ve heard similar requests regarding LearnDash, WPRocket and other plugins.

Logtivity Supports the Code Snippets Plugin

Written by Steve Burge on 17th June 2022.

Code Snippets is a popular plugin that is used by a lot of WordPress agencies.

The major advantage of the Code Snippets plugin is that it provides a simple way to run code snippets on your site. Normally you have to add these snippets to your theme’s functions.php file.

The Code Snippets plugin provides a user interface for managing snippets. Snippets can be activated and deactivated, plus you can add extra details such as name, description, and tags. It’s also simple to import and export the snippets so you can re-use your code on different sites.

Because the Code Snippets plugin is a crucial tool for many WordPress agencies, we’ve added support for the plugin. Any changes to your snippets will be stored in your site’s activity log.

How to Find Frequent Logs In Logtivity

Written by Steve Burge on 26th May 2022.

We had a request earlier this month from a Logtivity user with dozens of sites.

This user wanted to know which plugins and actions were recording the most logs on their sites. So we’ve added a “Most frequent logs” feature. You can find this by going to “Team Settings” then “Global Plugin Settings” in your Logtivity admin.

The most frequent users of Logtivity are WordPress agencies and maintenance services who want to keep an eye on lots of websites.

Agencies and maintenance services often white label the services they use, and so we’ve made this possible for Logtivity also.

There’s a “White Label Mode” in Logtivity, so you can provide the smoothest experience possible for clients.

Logtivity Now Records WordPress Post Meta

Written by Steve Burge on 22nd April 2022.

Last month, we were talking with a Logtivity user who runs a webdesign agency. The most frequent users of Logtivity are WordPress agencies and maintenance services so listen really carefully to their needs.

This user’s agency wanted an activity log to help deal with clients. Mistakes happen and sometimes clients can mess up their own sites. The problem is that mistakes can often take the agency many hours to fix it. If the agency can’t show the mistake was made by the client, they have to eat the cost.

Logtivity Has Better Support for Taxonomy Term and Status Changes

Written by Steve Burge on 27th March 2022.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been working on some improvements to the Logtivity SaaS platform and central. These improvements include Global Alerts, support for development sites, quickly connecting multiple sites, and more.

This week, we went back to the main activity log and added support for new types of logs. With the release of Logtivity 1.13, you’ll see more accurate logs for taxonomy and status changes.

Logtivity Now Has Global Alerts for All Your WordPress Sites

Written by Steve Burge on 9th March 2022.

One of the major benefits of Logtivity is that it can track ALL your WordPress sites. This is a big advantage over normal WordPress plugins that must be configured and monitored site-by-site. Logtivity offers you the ability to easily monitor all your sites from a single dashboard.

A great example of this is the new “Global Alerts” feature.

Logtivity Now Supports Staging and Development Sites

Written by Steve Burge on 23rd February 2022.

Logtivity allows you to monitor all the important events on all your WordPress sites.

For example, it can be incredibly helpful to get notifications for new Administrator logins or new published posts.

However, you don’t always need to get those same notifications on your staging and development sites. You don’t want your site’s logs to contain events that happened during testing.

To solve this problem, version 1.11.1 of the Logtivity plugin is available now. This release makes it much easier to work with copies of your site.

One of the major benefits of Logtivity is that it can track ALL your WordPress sites. This is a big advantage over normal WordPress plugins that must be configured and monitored site-by-site. Logtivity offers you the ability to easily monitor all your sites from a single dashboard.

Setting up a large number of sites is now even easier with the release of Logtivity 1.10.

Previously, you needed to install the Logtivity plugin and configure all the settings via the WordPress admin area.

Logtivity Notifications Now Provide Much More Information

Written by Steve Burge on 14th January 2022.

A few weeks ago, we discovered that Logtivity was recording all the activity on a WordPress site during a successful hack.

Have you ever had your site hacked? It’s a scary experience because you don’t know what the hacker has done. Fortunately, our customer was able to feel better because Logtivity gave them a 100% secure record of everything the hacker did.

After this incident, we started to brainstorm about the future. Could Logtivity let customers know what was happening while the attack was happening? The answer is, “Yes, if we improve Logtivity notifications”.

So we’ve been working hard to upgrade the notifications you get for key events. You can now get a lot more useful details inside your Logtivity notifications. Logtivity is perfectly placed to report on security incidents like this and also on more day-to-day activity.
