Nejčastější dotazy
-
Does this plugin affect my site’s performance?
-
Activity Log Pro is engineered for minimal performance impact. It uses a custom database table and optimized queries to ensure efficient logging. For most sites, the overhead is negligible, but as with any logging plugin, there is some additional database activity during user actions. Log retention and caching features help maintain long-term performance. There is also an exclusion filter to prevent any event getting logged.
-
Is this plugin GDPR compliant?
-
Yes, this plugin includes GDPR-ready features to help with GDPR compliance including IP anonymization, data retention controls, and the ability to delete user-specific logs upon request. Compliance responsibility lies solely with you/your organisation.
-
My site has too many log entries from automated processes. How can I reduce the noise?
-
Activity Log Pro includes a powerful exclusion feature to filter out unwanted automated entries while preserving important security and audit information.
To set up exclusions:
- Go to Activity Log Pro > Settings
- Find the „Event Filtering & Exclusions“ section
- Use the „Excluded Option Names“ field to specify what to exclude
Exclusion methods:
- Exact matching: Enter specific option names like
user_session_data - Wildcard patterns: Use * as placeholder:
temp_*excludes anything starting with „temp_“*_backupexcludes anything ending with „_backup“*cache*excludes anything containing „cache“
Common exclusion patterns:
Important: Exclusions only prevent future logging – existing logs remain unchanged. Start with specific exclusions before using broad wildcard patterns.
For detailed examples and best practices, see our 👉 complete exclusion guide .
-
How long are activity logs stored?
-
By default, logs are stored for 30 days. You can customize this in the plugin settings to any period from 7 days to 365 days retention (365 days is not recommended for performance reasons).
-
Can I export the activity logs?
-
Yes! You can export logs in multiple formats including CSV, JSON, HTML and TXT formats. Exports can be filtered by date range, user, activity type, and more.
-
Can I exclude events from the logs screen?
-
Yes, Activity Log Pro provides both filtering and exclusion capabilities:
Real-time Filtering (on logs screen):
- Date Range: Filter by specific date ranges
- User: Filter by specific users
- Event Type: Filter by categories (user, post, comment, etc.)
- Action: Filter by actions (create, update, delete, etc.)
- Search: Context-aware search across all log fields
- Multiple filters can be combined for precise results
Permanent Exclusions (in settings):
- Excluded Option Names: Prevent specific option updates from being logged
- Found in Settings > Event Filtering & Exclusions
- Supports exact matches and wildcards (e.g. temp_, _backup, cache etc)
- Useful for excluding automated processes, transients, and auto-saves
- Reduces database bloat from noise events
- One option name per line in the textarea
The filtering is temporary (for viewing) while exclusions are permanent (prevents logging entirely).
-
Does it work with multisite installations?
-
Activity Log Pro can be installed on WordPress multisite networks and will function on individual sites within the network. However, the current version does not include network-wide administration features or centralized logging across network sites. Each site in the network maintains its own separate activity logs.
-
What integrations are available?
-
Currently, we have deep integrations with WooCommerce and Yoast SEO, with more coming soon. The plugin also works seamlessly with most other WordPress plugins.
-
Can I customize what activities are tracked?
-
Yes, the plugin includes granular controls to enable or disable tracking for specific activity types. You can track everything or only the activities that matter to your site.
-
Is technical support provided?
-

-
Can I track custom post types?
-
Yes, Activity Log Pro automatically tracks all custom post types in addition to standard WordPress posts and pages.
-
How do I view failed login attempts?
-
Failed login attempts are tracked automatically and can be viewed in the main activity dashboard. Filter by „Login_failed“ Action to see security-related login issues.
-
What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?
-
Activity Log Pro includes a complete uninstall process that removes all plugin data, all logs, custom tables and settings when you choose to uninstall. This ensures your database remains clean and optimized with no leftover data or performance impact. Set the „
Remove all plugin data on uninstall“ option in „Uninstall Clean-up“ within Settings. -
