## Description

Kovalenko Admin Change Audit helps site owners keep an audit trail of important 
administrative activity in a dedicated owner-only log viewer.

Features include:

 * Login and logout activity logging
 * Post creation, updates, trash actions, and permanent deletions
 * Plugin activation, deactivation, and deletion logging
 * Owner-only log viewer under the Tools menu
 * Live refresh, filters, sorting, and pagination
 * Optional second password layer before logs are shown
 * Configurable timezone with America/Edmonton as the default
 * Automatic cleanup of expired logs

The plugin does not require an external account or third-party service to function.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it through the WordPress
    Plugins screen.
 2. Activate **Kovalenko Admin Change Audit**.
 3. After activation, open **Tools > Activity Logs**.
 4. Optionally set an extra access password inside the log viewer.

## FAQ

### Who can access the log viewer?

Only the owner account stored by the plugin can open the log viewer screen.

### Is the viewer visible in the admin menu?

The screen is available to the owner account from the Tools menu and from an admin
bar shortcut.

### Does the plugin send data to third-party services?

No. The release prepared for WordPress.org works fully inside WordPress and does
not fetch plugin updates or operational data from an external service.

### What happens on scheduled maintenance?

The plugin runs a daily cleanup task that removes log rows older than the configured
retention period.

### Can I choose a different timezone?

Yes. The plugin defaults to `America/Edmonton`, but the owner can choose a different
timezone for displayed timestamps, date filters, and the nightly maintenance schedule.
