Just install and activate; no configuration required.
🔍 How Simple History Helps in Real Situations
Track what’s happening on your site
“Has anyone done anything today? Ah, Sarah uploaded the new press release and created an article for it. Great — now I don’t have to do that.”
Identify issues and debug faster
“The site feels slow since yesterday. Has anyone done anything special? … Ah, Steven activated ‘naughty-plugin-x’, that must be it.”
Keep freelancers & agencies accountable
“I hired a developer to optimize my site. But did they actually do anything? A quick glance at Simple History shows me exactly what they worked on.”
Spot suspicious activity early
“I see three failed logins from an unfamiliar IP address overnight. Let me click the IP to check all activity from that address — just those attempts, nothing else. Good to know.”

The main event log: a clear timeline of who did what on your site, when, and from where — alongside a sidebar with daily activity and your most active users.
Content changes show a full before/after diff, so you can see exactly which words were edited on a post or page — not just that something changed.
User events capture every change to a profile: first and last name, display name, website, role, and more — with the previous value preserved next to the new one.
Every plugin install, activation, and deactivation is logged with author, version, source, and a link to the plugin — so you always know what's running on your site.
Click any IP address to see where it came from — hostname, organisation, city, and country — then filter every event from that IP or subnet in one click. Ideal for investigating failed logins.
Open any event to see the full details Simple History stores behind it: post IDs, user IDs, before/after values, and every other field — the complete audit trail for each entry.
History Insights shows a chart of daily activity, event counts for today, this week, and this month, and your most active users — all next to the log.
Stats and Summaries is a full reporting dashboard: breakdowns of users, posts and pages, plugins, media, and more — for any date range you choose.
Dashboard widget: a compact view of recent activity right on your WordPress Dashboard, so you see what's happened on your site without leaving the page you already check every day.
Weekly email reports keep you informed without logging in. Pick who receives the digest, preview it, or send a test email — all from the settings page.
