Frequently asked questions

Short answers. If something is missing, the full FAQ is inside the plugin under Support Reports → FAQ.

How does automatic update tracking work?

The plugin hooks into the native WordPress update process and logs core, plugin and theme updates with timestamps and version numbers. No configuration required.

What content changes are tracked?

Posts, pages, media uploads, navigation menus and widgets. Each change is attributed to a user with timestamp and action type (created, edited, deleted, status changed).

Will it slow down my site?

No. Tracking happens on admin-side events only; the front-end is not instrumented. The data lives in local WordPress tables, with indexed columns for fast lookups.

Can I customise the PDF reports?

You can choose a date range and decide which entries to include. Pro adds a custom letterhead and removes branding. Agency adds full white-label.

How are emails delivered?

Through wp_mail(). For better deliverability we recommend an SMTP plugin on the same site. Pro adds scheduled automated sending.

Does the free version phone home?

No. The free tier makes zero external calls. Only Pro and Agency contact our license server, and only to validate a license key.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. We only store technical metadata about WordPress (plugin names, versions, timestamps). No personal data, no analytics.

Does it work with multisite?

Yes on all plans. Agency adds a cross-site dashboard that manages up to 999 installations from a single license.
