I’d like to know this too! The logs are very lengthy and before the change, I used to manually clear them every day.
In Global Settings you can set the number of days to keep your logs..
By default this is 30 days.
Thank you for your answer but that’s no good, we need to manually clear them out. Setting the number of days to keep won’t work because if it’s cleared every day we’ll lose the ones over the weekend for example. Why did they take away a feature?
I’d like to know this too. It’s a pretty big issue for me and I’m not happy with it.
This is a feature that the iThemes needs to add but in the meantime if you’re in a pinch you can manually clear the log by deleting rows from the database table titled
“??_itsec_log”. I have already tried and successfully cleared my log using this method.
Log into your hosting CPanel and open “PHPMyAdmin” usually located in the “Databases” section of the CPanel. Once you’ve opened PHPMyAdmin, on the left, navigate to the database for your wordpress installation and select the table
“??_itsec_log”. Each log entry is one row on the table. Click the checkbox next to the entries you want to delete and click “delete”.
Notes:
1. Backup your database first so you can restore it if something goes wrong.
2. Different hosting companies may have different database management tools.
3. If you’re not sure which database belongs to your wordpress installation open up your wp-config.php file located in the root folder of your website and look around line 20-25.
