 * Hi everyone,
 * Is there a way, without a plugin, to see what actions were done on my WP website
   in a certain date at a certain time?
    Ex: A plugin was installed or Some page
   links were changed causing 404 error
 * Hired a third party company that messed up my website and they are claiming they
   did not do it, need to be able to prove they did.
 * Thanks

 * You could check the modification times of files via FTP. Then you know when they
   were last changed. By analysing the access logs, you could then trace this back
   to an IP that can possibly be assigned to someone. However, this kind of analysis
   can be very time-consuming.
 * Or you can compare a backup from before editing with the current status. Here,
   too, you will only find out what has changed, but not by whom.
 * I don’t see any other possibility. Especially not retrospectively. You would 
   have had to install a plugin to log the actions beforehand. That doesn’t help
   afterwards.
