## Description

AdminTrace Activity Logger records important changes on a WordPress site: content,
accounts, plugins, themes, comments, settings, privacy tools, and WooCommerce orders
when WooCommerce is active.

It is a journal with fixed limits. Profile marks are initials drawn on the site.
A content edit stores a short added-and-removed preview, not the post. Network addresses
stay masked, and the plugin does not look them up. Email and webhooks stay off until
an administrator turns them on. Search, filters, export, and retention are included.
There is no paid tier.

Each row is a short description. It does not store passwords, application passwords,
or API keys. Masked network addresses can also be turned off. The plugin does not
call Gravatar, an address lookup, or an analytics service.

## Installation

    Add New.
 2. Activate AdminTrace Activity Logger.
 3. Open AdminTrace Activity Logger in the admin menu. Recording starts immediately.

## FAQ

### Where is the journal stored?

In a database table named `{prefix}srah_events` on each site. Multisite installs
keep a separate table per site.

### How long is it kept?

90 days by default. Change the retention period in the settings, including 0 to 
keep events until you delete them.

### Who can read it?

Administrators can read everything. You can let editors and shop managers see content
activity. They do not see security events or network addresses.

### Does uninstall remove the data?

Yes, by default. There is a setting to keep the journal instead. Deactivation does
not delete rows.

### Does it send data anywhere?

The journal stays on this site. The email digest and the webhook are off until an
administrator turns them on. Failed-login alerts email the site administrator until
that alert is turned off. The private feed is off until it is enabled. The plugin
does not contact Gravatar, an address lookup, or an analytics service.

### Does it load profile images from Gravatar?

No. Each person is shown as an initial drawn by the plugin. It does not contact 
Gravatar or any other avatar service.
