How to use the Event Logger

Open Security Ninja → Events to review logged activity. Free vs Pro coverage, columns, and modules.

The Events Logger records important actions on your WordPress site so you can see who did what, and when.

Go to Security Ninja → Events. The Event Log subtab lists recent activity.

A fresh install may show little activity until people use the site. Rows appear as logins, edits, and other tracked actions happen.

Free vs Pro

  • Free: firewall-related events and login attempts (successful and failed).
  • Pro: full module coverage (posts, users, media, WooCommerce, and more), CSV export, email reports, admin-user notifications, and webhooks.

Columns

  • Time: when the event happened, plus relative time (for example “47 minutes ago”)
  • Event: short description
  • User: who ran the action, or anonymous if not logged in / automated
  • Details: IP and related context
  • Module: category (Users, Posts, Security Ninja, and so on)
  • Action: precise action key

Modules (Pro)

You can turn individual modules on or off under Event Logger settings. Available groups include:

  • Comments
  • File editor
  • Installer
  • Media
  • Menus
  • Posts
  • Settings
