Hi WP-Defender Team,
I have been using WP-Defender’s paid activity logging feature, and unfortunately, it has consistently fallen short of expectations when it comes to tracking detailed website changes. Specifically, it does not capture important changes such as product category modifications in WooCommerce, which have been critical for my troubleshooting and site management.
When changes do appear in the logs, the descriptions are often vague and unhelpful, with entries simply labeled as “content” or “media” changes, providing minimal useful context for understanding what exactly was altered. This lack of detail severely limits the feature’s effectiveness as a tool for tracking and diagnosing issues on my site.
In contrast, free plugins like WP Activity Log offer much more comprehensive and granular activity tracking right out of the box, including detailed insights into WooCommerce product revisions, category changes, and more. Considering that WP-Defender’s logging is a paid add-on, this shortfall feels particularly disappointing.
Could the development team please clarify if there is an active roadmap to improve WP-Defender’s activity logging feature? It seems this functionality has been stuck for years without meaningful enhancements. It would be great to either see this feature developed into a truly worthwhile tool or, alternatively, to have the paid option reconsidered if it cannot meet user needs.
Thanks for listening, and I hope to see some progress on this soon.
