## Description

Pixelash Site Change watches your WordPress site and builds a complete audit trail
of what changed, when, and (where WordPress can tell us) who did it — so “wait, 
when did this happen?” always has an answer.

**What it tracks (Phase 1 / current release)**

 * Post and page content — created, deleted, title, content, excerpt, slug, status,
   and featured image changes
 * Plugins — installed, removed, activated, deactivated, and version updates
 * Themes — activation switches and version updates
 * Users — accounts created/deleted, role changes, email changes, password resets,
   and failed login attempts, recorded in real time
 * Important site settings — site title, URLs, permalink structure, search-engine
   visibility, public registration, default role, and more

Every change is scored **Low / Medium / High / Critical** and shown on a dashboard
with real counts, a filterable Activity Log, and email alerts once a change meets
your chosen severity threshold.

**Snapshots**

The plugin keeps a locked “Initial Baseline” snapshot from the moment it’s activated,
plus a record of every scan afterward, so you always have a clear before/after reference
point.

**Built for real sites**

Regular scans only re-check content that changed since the last scan (not your entire
site every time), so performance stays reasonable even on larger sites. Scheduled
scanning uses WP-Cron with configurable intervals from every 5 minutes to weekly.

**Your data stays yours**

No external account, no telemetry, no required sign-up. Change history has a configurable
retention period (7 days to unlimited), and is kept (not deleted) if you ever remove
the plugin, unless you explicitly opt in to deletion under Settings.

**What’s next**

This is the initial release, covering the core monitoring engine. Visual/screenshot
comparison, file and WordPress-core monitoring, WooCommerce monitoring, SEO plugin
integrations, webhook/Slack/Teams alerts, PDF reporting, multisite support, and 
optional AI-assisted summaries are planned for upcoming releases — each will ship
fully working, not as a placeholder.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP via **Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**, or unzip into `/
    wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate **Pixelash Site Change**.
 3. You’ll be taken to a short setup screen — choose your monitoring level, scan frequency,
    notification email, and what content to monitor. No account required.
 4. A locked “Initial Baseline” snapshot is created automatically.
 5. From then on, changes are detected on your chosen schedule, or any time via the
    Dashboard’s **Scan Now** button.

## FAQ

### Does this slow down my site?

No scanning happens on regular visitor page loads. Scans run via WP-Cron in the 
background, and only re-check content modified since the previous scan.

### Will this fill my inbox with alerts for every tiny change?

No — you choose the minimum severity that triggers an email (Settings  Notifications),
and Ignore Rules let you permanently silence specific pages, plugins, or change 
types you don’t care about.

### Can an Ignore Rule hide a security-relevant event?

No. New administrator accounts, role changes, and account deletions are always recorded
regardless of any ignore rule — this is enforced in code, not just policy.

### Does this scan for malware?

No — this is change detection, not malware scanning. It tells you _what changed_;
it does not attempt to identify malicious code.

### What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?

Nothing is deleted by default. If you want your data removed on uninstall, enable
that explicitly under Settings  Privacy & Retention before removing the plugin.
