Audit Trail Plug-in Keeps Track of Your Users

If you’ve ever received an email late at night from one of your developers stating, “Site XYZ.com is down, we’re looking into it,” then you’re going to appreciate this. As much as we like to think that WordPress is infallible (wink wink), sometimes it breaks. It can’t be avoided, people push the wrong button, flip the wrong switch and delete the wrong post. Ok, hold on to your chair, it’s time for a scary thought. You probably have 20 or more people in and out of your sites each day. That’s 20x the chances that something will go wrong. It would be great if there was a plug-in that prevented all WordPress errors and breakdowns but it just doesn’t exist.

Fortunately Audit Trail is a plug-in for WordPress that will help your developers zero in on the problem. Audit Trail keeps a log of every action on your site; From user sign in, to publishing pages. If something happens to your site, your devs can dive into the Audit Trail’s logs and see the last few actions taken before the error occurred. This will save time identifying the problem and get you quickly into recovery mode. One of the best features of Audit Trail is that it lets you restore a post to a previous version at anytime. This plug-in is highly recommended for any publisher with multi-users interacting with their sites.
