Details of background activity setting

  • Hello!

    I’m curious about the Enable Events for WordPress Background Activity setting. This is what it says on the settings page:

    Do you want to keep a log of WordPress background activity?

    WordPress does a lot of things in the background that you do not necessarily need to know about, such as; deletion of post revisions, deletion of auto saved drafts etc. By default the plugin does not report them since there might be a lot and are irrelevant to the user.

    Would it be possible to provide a full list of background events that this setting enables? Thanks!

    Thank you for showing interest in our plugin Tessa. Also, I am sorry for the late response.

    Very good question. At the moment the only “background activity” the plugin keeps a log of that is hidden when this option is deactivated is the automated deletion of drafts. WordPress does some “spring cleaning” every number of hours and it deletes auto saves / automatically saved drafts. If you enable this setting you will see an entry in the logs when this happens.

    We are planning to monitor more background activity and when we improve this feature we will also document this – very good suggestion.

    I hope the above answers your question. Should you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask. Also, if you like the plugin, please spare a minute to rate the plugin (URL: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/wp-security-audit-log/reviews/). These ratings are really helpful.

    Thank you and have a great day.
