Never be in the dark about WP Admin activity again. Stream allows you to know exactly when changes to your site have been made, and more importantly, who did them.
Every logged-in user action is logged in an activity stream and organized for easy filtering by connector, context, action and IP address.
Built with performance in mind, Stream won't pollute your default posts table with records or slow down content querying on your site.
Stream is built to extend, allowing developers to easily build their own connectors to track any type of action in the activity stream (developer documentation coming soon).
Recorded activity:
- Posts
- Pages
- Custom Post Types
- Users
- Themes
- Plugins
- Tags
- Categories
- Custom Taxonomies
- Settings
- Menus
- Media Library
- Widgets
- Comments

Great! There are several ways you can get involved to help make Stream better:
