Know who changed what, without guessing.

Destiny Manage records meaningful WordPress activity across every connected client site, so your agency can answer what changed, who did it, when it happened, and where to look next.

What does the WordPress activity log record?

The Destiny Manage connector records user-attributable actions inside WordPress, including logins, failed login attempts, user changes, posts and pages, media, plugins, themes, settings, comments, menus, taxonomies, widgets, and Site Editor content. Each event is sent to the agency dashboard with the acting user, role, IP address, source, affected item, and a compact description of the change.

From WordPress action to agency answer

The connector captures the evidence while the action happens, then keeps it searchable from one cross-site timeline.

Step01

The connector records the action

A login, page edit, upload, user change, plugin update, or settings change is written to a durable local queue during the WordPress request.

Step02

Destiny Manage receives it

The event is delivered asynchronously so the WordPress action is not held up. If the API is unavailable, the connector retries from its queue.

Step03

Your agency investigates

Search across sites or filter by user, action, severity, and date, then open the affected page or review its focused before-and-after details.

One searchable timeline across client sites

Instead of checking individual WordPress dashboards or asking several people what they remember, filter one agency-wide timeline down to the website, person, action, or period that matters.

Search by useful context

Search event summaries, affected pages or media, WordPress usernames, display names, and IP addresses.

Focused filters

Narrow the log by website, user, category, action, severity, and date without loading the full history into the browser.

Clear attribution

Each record keeps the WordPress user, role, IP address, request source, and exact event time together.

See the part that changed, not another full revision

Large page-builder documents can be difficult to compare and expensive to store. Destiny Manage extracts a compact excerpt around the changed area and records the before-and-after lengths, giving the agency useful evidence without duplicating an entire page on every save.

Content-aware differences

Review focused before-and-after excerpts for page titles, status, content, settings, and other meaningful fields.

Builder and ACF coverage

Capture structured changes made through Gutenberg, Bricks, Fusion, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, Oxygen, and Advanced Custom Fields.

Direct links back to WordPress

Open the affected page, post, media item, user, comment, menu, or settings screen from the event when WordPress provides a safe URL.

Useful security evidence without runaway storage

Failed login bursts are grouped into five-minute records, payloads and excerpts are bounded, sensitive keys are redacted, and old history is pruned on a controlled retention window.

Failed-login grouping

Repeated attempts against the same username and IP are counted together instead of creating an endless row for every attempt.

Sensitive-value protection

Password, token, cookie, nonce, API key, and other secret-like fields are redacted before the event is stored.

Bounded retention

Activity is retained for 90 days by default, with pagination keeping every dashboard request small.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about setting up and running your wordpress activity log.

Is the WordPress activity log included on Free?

Yes. The connected-site activity log, user and IP attribution, focused before-and-after details, search, and filters are available on Free and paid plans.

How quickly do new WordPress actions appear?

The connector queues the event immediately and sends it asynchronously at the end of the WordPress request. The activity screen refreshes regularly, so events normally appear within seconds. If delivery fails, the local queue retries without blocking the original WordPress action.

Does the log store a complete copy of every page revision?

No. It stores the relevant changed fields and a compact excerpt around the changed area, plus before-and-after lengths. This gives agencies practical evidence while avoiding the cost and privacy risk of copying full page-builder documents on every save.

Which page builders are supported?

The connector records standard WordPress and Gutenberg content, Advanced Custom Fields, and recognised metadata used by Bricks, Fusion Builder, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi, and Oxygen. Other builders that save through normal post content are captured through the standard content hooks.

Will it detect files changed through SFTP or SSH?

No. The activity log records actions that pass through WordPress and its connector hooks. Direct filesystem changes made through SFTP, SSH, a hosting file manager, or another process need separate server-level file monitoring.

Can I search for an IP address or failed login?

Yes. IP addresses and usernames are searchable, and you can filter specifically for failed login events and warning-level activity.
