Description
Site Change Monthly Report acts as a secure, high-fidelity activity log and audit system for WordPress. It tracks user actions in real-time and reconstructs historical changes, storing them in a lightweight database table with automatic cleanups.
Key features include:
* Real-time Monitoring: Tracks WordPress core updates, plugin/theme changes, content updates (pages, posts, custom post types), and user logins/failed sessions (with IP address tracking).
* Historical Reconstruction: Scans revisions, content modifications, user registrations, and core file integrity checks.
* Flexible Filtering: Search and filter events by category, user, date, or text.
* Export & Automated Delivery: Export logs to Excel (.xlsx) or CSV. Configure automatic monthly email deliveries of the previous month’s report.
* Dashboard Widget: Monitor recent site activity at a glance.
* WP-CLI Integration: Run audit scans, status checks, and exports directly from the command line.

Does this plugin affect site performance?
-
No. Real-time hooks are optimized to run instantly, and the historical reconstruction scans are run in small, non-blocking background cron batches.

Very little. It stores entries as plain text. Furthermore, you can adjust the history retention period (e.g., to 6 months) under Settings, and the plugin will clean up older records automatically.
