The premium edition adds additional features such as extensive log filtering options, external database/log management service integration, user session management, and much more.

Log data can be kept indefinitely in both free and premium editions. By default, the plugin retains all audit logging data for 3 months however this can be changed from the initial configuration wizards or the plugin's settings (activity log retention policies).

WP Activity Log keeps a record of security-related user and system activities, including logins, logouts, failed login attempts, changes to settings and configurations, and post edits among other things. This security log can not only uncover suspicious or untoward behaviour, but also aid in forensics and post-mortems for quicker recoveries.

By default, all users with administrator role can view the activity log. However, you can restrict this to a specific administrator or access can be given to other users through the plugin's settings. Refer to the WordPress activity log privileges for more information on how you can do this.

WP Activity Log will not slow down your website. Each version is tested before release to ensure it works in the best way possible. Having said that, you need to make sure your WordPress web server has adequate resources to manage the load of your website.

Support for the Free edition of the plugin is provided only via the WordPress.org support forums. You can also refer to our support pages for all the technical and product documentation. If you are using the Premium edition, you get direct access to our support team via one-to-one email support.
