The most frequent users of Logtivity are WordPress agencies and maintenance services. So we talk with many agency owners as we build Logtivity.
All the agency owners have fascinating stories, and they play a key role in the WordPress community.
In this post, we talk with Jon Phillips who runs Matchless Web. Jon provides WordPress maintenance services and also teaches people how to build super-fast WordPress sites.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
