外掛說明
AODN Changelog Logger keeps a complete audit trail of every update on your WordPress site — plugins, themes, and WordPress core. Know exactly what changed, when it changed, who changed it, and whether it was manual or an automatic update.
Perfect for:
* Freelancers & agencies managing client sites — send monthly update reports in seconds.
* Site owners who want to know why something broke after an update.
* Developers maintaining strict version control and documentation.
* Anyone running WP auto-updates who wants visibility into what’s happening.
Features
- Automatic logging — hooks into WordPress update events, nothing to configure
- Tracks all update types — plugins, themes, and WordPress core
- Version history — shows what version something was updated from and to
- User attribution — know who triggered each update (or if it was auto-update)
- Auto vs. Manual — distinguishes between manual updates and WordPress automatic background updates
- Filter & search — filter by type, date range, or search by plugin/theme name
- CSV export — export your log for client reports or record-keeping
- Auto-purge — optionally auto-delete logs older than X days to keep the database clean
- Lightweight — no external dependencies, no bloat, no tracking, no upsells
Usage
After activation, go to Changelog Logger in your WordPress admin menu. Updates will be logged automatically from that point forward. Use the filter bar to search or narrow down the log. Export as CSV anytime.

常見問題集
-
Does it log updates that happened before I installed the plugin?
-
No. It can only log updates that occur after activation. There’s no way to retroactively retrieve update history.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin only runs during update events, which happen infrequently. It has zero impact on frontend performance.
-
What happens when I uninstall?
-
All log data is removed from the database cleanly. No orphaned data left behind.
-
Can I export the log?
-
Yes — click the “Export CSV” button on the main log page. You can apply filters before exporting to get a subset of the data.
-
Does it work with WP-CLI or managed hosting auto-updates?
-
It hooks into the
upgrader_process_completeaction which fires for all update methods including WP-CLI and managed hosting platforms that use the standard WordPress upgrader. -
Is it multisite compatible?
-
Basic multisite compatibility is included. Each site in the network maintains its own log.
