Operations
When something breaks, the first question is "what changed?" Without activity logs, troubleshooting is guesswork. BlockForge tracks every significant action across all your WordPress sites — plugin updates, user changes, content modifications, settings adjustments — creating a complete, searchable audit trail.
The Challenge
Multiple admins making changes with no record of who did what. A client updates a plugin that breaks their site, a team member changes a setting they should not have touched, or an unknown user modifies critical content. Without logs, there is no accountability and no way to trace the root cause.
A site breaks and you have no way to know what changed. Was it a plugin update? A theme modification? A settings change? A core update? Without a chronological record of actions, troubleshooting means checking everything manually — a slow, frustrating process that wastes hours during critical incidents.
Auditors ask for change logs and you have nothing to show. Regulated industries, enterprise clients, and government contracts increasingly require documented change management. WordPress has no built-in audit trail, and piecing together activity from server logs is impractical for most teams.
How It Works
BlockForge captures activity from every connected WordPress site automatically. Plugin installs, updates, and removals. User creation, role changes, and deletions. Content edits, publishing, and trash operations. Settings changes, theme switches, and menu modifications. Every event is tagged with the user who performed it, the exact timestamp, the site it happened on, and a description of what changed. The entire log is searchable and exportable.

Key Capabilities
Every logged action is tied to the specific user who performed it. See the WordPress username, their role, and the site they were working on. When a client claims they did not change anything, the log tells the real story. Attribution works for both wp-admin actions and BlockForge dashboard operations.
Events are automatically categorized into clear groups: Plugin Updates, Theme Changes, User Management, Content, Settings, Security, Backups, and System. Filter by category to focus on specific types of changes. Track plugin updates separately from content edits for targeted auditing.
Search across all your WordPress sites from a single interface. Find every site that updated a specific plugin last week. See all user creation events across your portfolio. Track which sites had settings changes during a specific time window. Global search eliminates site-by-site investigation.
Chronological timeline of all events with visual indicators for event type and severity. Scroll through the timeline to understand the sequence of events during an incident. See at a glance when a site was active, when changes clustered together, and when automatic system actions occurred.
Export activity logs as CSV for spreadsheet analysis or PDF for client-ready reports. Filter by date range, site, user, or category before exporting. Generated reports include summary statistics and are formatted for professional presentation in compliance audits or client meetings.
Configure how long activity logs are retained per site or globally. Keep logs for 30 days, 90 days, one year, or indefinitely depending on your compliance requirements. Automatic cleanup of expired log entries keeps storage manageable while maintaining the audit trail you need.
Never wonder what changed again. Track every action across all your WordPress sites automatically.
