Why this plugin

  • Security visibility: Quickly see who accessed your site and from where.
  • Accountability: Maintain a reliable audit trail for compliance or internal reviews.

  • Lightweight: Minimal overhead—built on native WordPress database APIs.

Key Features

  • Automatic logging: Username, IP address, and login time saved on every successful login.
  • Instant log viewer: Dedicated Login Logs admin page with a fast username filter.
  • Timezone aware: Displays times using your site’s timezone and date/time formats.
  • Keyboard-friendly: Ctrl/Cmd + S submits forms in admin settings.
  • Clean database structure: Creates a single table (wp_login_logs) on activation.
  • WordPress-native: Hooks into the wp_login action; no invasive code.

How it Works

On each successful login, the plugin writes a row to wp_login_logs with:

  • username – the account used
  • ip_address – captured from $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
  • login_time – stored in UTC, displayed in your site’s timezone

View all entries in the Login Logs page of your WordPress admin, sorted newest-first. Filter by username with a single click.

Who it’s For

  • Site owners who want simple, dependable login tracking.
  • Agencies managing multiple client sites needing quick visibility.
  • Security-minded teams who prefer lean, native solutions over bulky suites.

Requirements & Compatibility

  • WordPress: Tested up to 6.7.1
  • Dependency: Requires the flwsecureupdates plugin

Installation

  1. Install and activate flwsecureupdates.

Privacy & Compliance

  • This plugin stores IP addresses, which may be considered personal data (e.g., GDPR). Update your Privacy Policy accordingly.
  • No auto-purge: You control retention with database tools or your own workflow.
  • CDN/proxies: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] may reflect a proxy IP. Configure real-IP headers if you need the true client address.
