About this plugin
Lipon Activity Log keeps a running record of everything that happens inside your WordPress admin. Posts saved, users added, plugins toggled, settings tweaked — it’s all right there, with a timestamp and the name of whoever made the change.
You get a clean dashboard widget for a quick glance, plus a full log page where you can filter and scroll through the complete history.
No configuration needed. Install, activate, done.
