Activity Track – User Activity Log & Security Monitor records what happens on your WordPress site and tells you when something needs your attention. See who changed what, spot suspicious sign-ins and scanning attempts, and follow WooCommerce payment problems, all in a clean, modern dashboard.
Most activity logs only list events. Activity Track also connects related events into
Incidents, so you see one clear story ("5 failed sign-ins, then a successful sign-in, then a new administrator") with the reason it was flagged and what to check next. Activity Track Pro adds AI explanations with no API key needed.
What you get for free
- User activity log: logins, logouts and failed logins; post and page edits; plugin and theme changes; user and role changes; media; settings; menus, widgets and comments.
- Security incidents: warnings for a successful sign-in after repeated failed attempts, new administrator access, and sensitive changes made soon after a flagged sign-in.
- 404 monitoring and scan detection: see every missing page, and get an incident when a visitor probes for sensitive files such as
.env and backups, or scans for vulnerable scripts.
- WooCommerce activity: orders, status changes and refunds, plus checkout and Stripe payment outcomes with decline reasons.
- Email alerts: notification rules for selected activities and users, and alerts for high priority incidents.
- Search, filters and CSV export for audits and troubleshooting.
- Privacy-first: incident evidence never stores raw IP addresses, passwords or typed usernames, and personal-data export and erasure are supported.
- Multisite compatible.
Who it's for
- Site owners who want to know when something unusual happens.
- Agencies managing client sites and needing a clear record of changes.
- WooCommerce stores that need to understand failed payments and customer account activity.
- Content and security teams that need accountability.
Why Activity Track
- Explains, not just lists: incidents group related activity and suggest what to check.
- A useful free version: incidents, 404 scan detection and WooCommerce payment insights are included in Free.
- Monitoring only: it never blocks visitors or changes your site, so it works alongside your firewall or security plugin.
- Simple, modern interface that fits the WordPress admin.
Activity Track Pro adds AI explanations, extra incident checks, longer history and priority support.
WooCommerce Activity (Free)
Connect recorded account activity, checkout submissions, saved payment methods, and payment outcomes in one timeline. Includes customer/order summaries, grouped profile updates, outcome badges, and links to related timelines.
- Enable WooCommerce under Activity Track → Settings → Enable Activity Types to show the WooCommerce Activity menu. Enable User to record registration, sign-ins, and profile changes.
- Supported Stripe events are collected through the WooCommerce Stripe gateway. Live webhook recording is shown separately from WooCommerce payment completion; an unconfirmed webhook does not mean a payment failed.
- Review notices highlight five or more recorded live Stripe payment/card-setup failures for the same linked user within ten minutes. Failures can be legitimate retries and do not prove fraud.
- Profile changes store allowlisted categories, not field values. Older events may not contain changed-field details.
- Summaries cover the events on the current page. Tracking starts when enabled; missing records do not prove no activity occurred.
- Monitoring only: this feature does not block customers, validate cards, or replace WooCommerce order management or payment-provider fraud controls. No raw card details or payment payloads are stored by this recorder.
Free works independently. Pro is optional and requires the Free plugin to remain installed and active.
Incidents (Free)
Review security warnings in
Activity Track → Incidents, the second tab beside Activity Log. Turn on monitoring in
Monitoring settings; it is off by default.
- Flag a successful sign-in after at least five failed attempts targeting the same existing account within fifteen minutes, with the successful sign-in inside the thirty-minute detection window.
- Flag new administrator accounts and administrator role grants. A flagged sign-in becomes high priority if the same account grants administrator access, activates a plugin, or changes a monitored registration, role, site URL or administrator email setting within one hour.
- Detect recorded 404 probes for sensitive files and bursts of missing script requests. Signed-in accounts probing hidden files receive high priority. These checks require 404 Errors tracking to be enabled.
- Filter by status, priority and date; search incidents; and open a detail dialog with the evidence timeline, reason for the warning and suggested checks.
- Resolve incidents as Addressed, Expected activity or False alarm, with an optional note. Configure email alerts for high priority findings and administrator grants, with review-only alerts optional.
- Checks run locally in bounded background batches, scheduled about every five minutes through WordPress Cron. Use Check now for a manual run. Scheduling depends on site traffic or a configured cron runner.
- Account checks use account IDs. 404 checks use a daily salted visitor fingerprint; incident evidence does not store raw IP addresses, passwords or attempted usernames. The separate source logs retain their own privacy settings. WordPress personal-data export and erasure are supported.
- Resolved incidents are kept for thirty days in Free. Review-only 404 incidents resolve automatically after seven days without new activity. Incident evidence is retained separately from the source logs.
- Monitoring starts when enabled. Warnings indicate activity to review, not proof of compromise; this feature does not block requests or change accounts, plugins or site settings.
An activated Pro license adds plugin/theme discovery checks, correlation between scans and sign-in attempts, optional AI explanations and ninety-day retention for resolved incidents.
404 Errors (Free)
Review final front-end 404 responses in
Activity Track → 404 Errors, with requested URLs, referrers, device information, and recorded visitor details.
- Tracking is enabled by default. Turn it off under Activity Track → Settings → Enable 404 tracking.
- Search recorded URLs, filter by date, export CSV, and delete selected records.
- URL query values are redacted. Capture does not perform remote location lookups and respects the IP logging setting.
- Recording is limited to 60 per minute and 5,000 per day. At 10,000 stored records, the oldest 1,000 are deleted in a batch before adding more. Age-based retention still applies (30 days by default).
- Pause or resume recording directly on the 404 page. Existing records remain accessible while paused; automatic retention cleanup continues. Recording status shows active, paused, or capture-limit states. Skipped responses are not backfilled.
- Bot labels use User-Agent automation signals. Unrecognized clients probing PHP files in common scanner targets are labeled Suspected bot. Labels apply to existing records and CSV exports; they do not verify identity or block requests.
- Monitoring only: this feature does not redirect URLs or block requests. Earlier 404 responses are not backfilled.
