## Description

Leenkat Editorial Tracker provides a focused editorial event log for WordPress.

It records the real logged-in user who publishes or edits tracked
 content while
keeping the assigned WordPress Author separate.

Main features:

 * Dedicated Editorial Tracker admin menu.
 * Event Log with date, user, action, content, author, source, and content history.
 * Summary cards for today’s publications, edits, and active editors.
 * Filters by content title, user, action, content type, and date
    range.
 * Configurable items per page for large editorial sites.
 * Dashboard widget showing User, Action, and Content with a View All
    Event Log
   link.
 * Role- and user-based permissions for Event Log access.
 * Select which content types and actions are tracked.
 * Configurable automatic log retention.
 * Clear Log Now tool for administrators.
 * Database information showing total, oldest, and newest events.
 * Optional data deletion on uninstall.
 * Autosaves and revisions are not counted as editorial edits.
 * Scheduled publication preserves the user who scheduled the content
    when WordPress
   publishes it automatically.
 * Event records retain captured user and author names even if those
    accounts are
   later removed.
 * Event history is preserved when tracked content is permanently
    deleted.

The plugin does not reconstruct activity that happened before tracking
 began.

All tracking data is stored locally in the WordPress database. The
 plugin does 
not send editorial activity to external services.

### Privacy

Leenkat Editorial Tracker stores editorial activity locally in the
 site’s WordPress
database. Recorded event data can include the acting user’s ID and display name,
the assigned author’s ID and display name, the content ID, content title, content
type, action, source, and event time.

The plugin does not transmit editorial activity to Leenkat or to any
 external service.
Administrators can configure automatic retention, clear the log manually, and optionally
delete plugin data on uninstall.

## FAQ

### Is the assigned WordPress Author changed?

No. The assigned Author remains untouched and is displayed separately
 from the 
user who performed the editorial action.

### Does the plugin reconstruct old publishers or edits?

No. Activity is recorded only after tracking begins. The plugin does not
 infer 
historical publishers from the assigned Author or other metadata.

### Are autosaves and revisions counted as edits?

No. Autosaves and revisions are excluded.

### Can I control who can view the Event Log?

Yes. Administrators always have access, and additional roles or
 individual users
can be granted access in Settings.

### What happens if a tracked post or page is deleted?

Its recorded editorial events remain in the Event Log as historical
 audit data.
The stored content title and captured user/author names remain available, while 
the edit link is no longer shown.

### What happens if a user account is deleted?

New events store a snapshot of the acting user’s and assigned author’s
 display 
names at the time of the event, so historical records can remain understandable 
even if an account is later removed.

### Does the plugin support WordPress Multisite network activation?

Version 1.0.0 is intended for per-site activation. Network-wide
 multisite activation
is not a supported workflow in this release.

### Can I limit the size of the log?

Yes. You can automatically delete events older than 7, 30, 90, 180, or
 365 days,
or keep events indefinitely.

### What happens when I clear the Event Log?

Clear Log permanently removes recorded event rows and resets historical
 post-level
tracking metadata. Pending scheduler attribution is preserved so future scheduled
publications can still be assigned to the user who scheduled them.

### Does uninstalling the plugin delete the log?

Only if “Delete plugin data on uninstall” is enabled before
 uninstalling. It is
disabled by default.

### Does it track WooCommerce products and Elementor changes?

If their content type is enabled under Tracked content types, edits can
 be recorded
when either the core WordPress post record or meaningful post meta changes. This
covers common meta-based edits such as WooCommerce product data and Elementor page
data. WooCommerce orders are intentionally excluded in version 1.0.0 because modern
stores may use HPOS and require dedicated order tracking.
