Audit Trail Plugin
Audit Trail is a plugin to keep track of what is going on inside your blog. It does this by recording certain actions (such as who logged in and when) and storing this information in the form of a log. Not only that but it records the full contents of posts (and pages) and allows you to restore a post to a previous version at any time.
To summarize:
- Log of user actions inside your blog - useful for finding out who did what in a multi-user system
- Differences are shown graphically
- Extensible, allowing other plugins the ability to add and display items in the Audit Trail
- Ability to track registered user page visits
- Fully localized
Version History
- 1.1.6 - Add Belorussian
- 1.1.5 - Fix methods to monitor
- 1.1.4 - Add Estonian, restore the delete feature
- 1.1.3 - Fix deep slashes
- 1.1.2 - Don't save post differences, fix username in CSV export
Installation
The plugin is simple to install:
- Download audit-trail.zip
- Unzip
- Upload
audit-traildirectory to your/wp-content/pluginsdirectory - Go to the plugin management page and enable the plugin
You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a pre 1.0 version please de-activate and then re-activate the plugin. This will upgrade your database tables (unfortunately any existing Audit Trail data will be lost).
Audit Trail is available in the following languages (included in the plugin):
- English
- Estonian (thanks to Lembik Kivisik)
- Belorussian (thanks to Marcis G.)
Usage
Once the plugin is installed then your actions are already being recorded. You can view the Audit Trail log from the Manage/Audit Trail page.
Note that some entries in the log can be clicked and will expand to show more details.
Options
From the options page you can configure exactly what actions are audited. Any plugins that support Audit Trail will also display themself here.
Permissions
Users with the 'edit_plugins' or 'audit_trail' capability can view and administer the Audit Trail plugin. The 'audit_trail' capability can be added with the Role Manager plugin.

Great plugin! I use it to track number of hits to my blog by username; unfortunately, there's one small bug (already mentioned by another user) that makes this usage problematic. Instead of listing the username under "User" in the CSV file, Audit Trail lists the action. This makes it impossible to sort by user in Excel and thereby extrapolate the data. Will happily make a further donation to PayPal if this issue is remedied. Thanks much!

This should have been fixed for a while now

Looks like a great plugin. However after activating I'm getting the error: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function number_format_i18n() in /plugins/audit-trail/models/pager.php on line 473"
Any idea how to fix?

Use a more recent version of WordPress

The delete is not working. There is also no check box to select which logs to delete. How can I fix this?

Added the delete checkbox back

Just upgraded. Great for having the delete function back.
BUT... it produces errors
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in .../plugins/audit-trail/audit-trail.php on line 121
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /.../plugins/audit-trail/audit-trail.php:121) in .../plugins/sidebar-login/sidebar-login.php on line 314

I have the same problem using WP3.0 I cant delete the checked items in my log. In addition the options screen won't save the name of an ignored user.

Any update on how this works with WPMU? Should it be installed in mu-plugins? Thanks.
Jan 23, 2010 4:23 am |
Just install it like any other plugin
Jun 6, 2010 7:11 am |
After installing and activating sitewide in MU 2.9.2, and setting options to track everything, there are no results to display.
Must something different be done for MU?

Excellent again, installed up and running no problems at all.
THank you!

It's worth noting that you have to select the list of activities to record in the logs from the 'options' menu after installation, otherwise it will not be keeping a trail of anything.
Thanks for your contribution with this plugin.

Hi there. I too have the same issue as Mike @ comment-107309.
Could it be that there is no check-box all together?
Thank you in advance,

Ooops, sorry for posting here. I will post the above message in your support forum.

Great plugin. I was wondering though is there a way to make it display the users name as well as the login name, or instead of. the only reason I ask is because I use the facebook connect and for that to work it automatically uses the facebook user ID as the login name. This gets confusing when I am looking at the records.
