Activity Log

The Activity Log admin page shows you every audit-worthy event in your community - who created a post, who approved a reply, who banned a member, when a role changed. Read-only and filterable.

What You Will Learn

  • What events are recorded in the Activity Log
  • How to filter the log by user, event type, or date range
  • Why some events appear and others don't
  • How to use the log for moderation reviews and account audits

Go to Jetonomy → Activity Log to access the page.

What Gets Logged

The log records every event that changes the state of the community in a way that's worth being able to look back on:

  • Posts created, edited, deleted, restored
  • Replies created, edited, deleted, restored
  • Flags raised and resolved (with the resolution outcome)
  • Members joining or leaving a space
  • Role changes (member → moderator, moderator → admin, demotions)
  • Trust level promotions and demotions
  • Bans and silences (issued and lifted)
  • Setting changes that affect community behaviour

What's NOT logged: votes, reads, search queries, page views - these are too high-volume to keep useful and are tracked separately by Analytics (Pro).

Filters

The page supports three independent filters that can be combined:

Filter What it does
User Show only events caused by a specific member or staff user
Type Show only one event type (e.g. "post created", "ban issued")
Date range Show events between two dates

Combine all three to answer questions like "which posts did this moderator approve last week?"

Read-Only

The Activity Log is intentionally read-only. You can't edit or delete entries from this page. The log is the audit trail - modifying it would defeat the point.

If you need to undo something a member or staff user did, do it in the relevant area (e.g. restore a deleted post from the post page, lift a ban from the member's profile). The log will then record the corrective action as a new entry.

Performance

The log is paginated server-side at 20 entries per page by default (adjustable via the per-page screen option). Filters apply at the database level, so even on a community with hundreds of thousands of entries, filtered queries return in under a second on a normal host.

There's no automatic cleanup - entries are kept indefinitely. If you want to prune the log, you can do it via WP-CLI; reach out via support if you need a recipe.
