This guide helps resolve issues related to monitoring user activities, access logs, and audit logs within WordPress inside the Progreda. Proper log visibility is essential for security, troubleshooting, and site performance management.
Activity Logs Overview
Q: Why are activity logs missing or not updating?
A: If user activity logs are not appearing or updating, this may be due to incorrect settings or disabled tracking.
Steps to Fix:
Navigate to Progreda Dashboard → Site Management.
Select Activity Logs and ensure logging is enabled.
Adjust the time range to ensure logs are being recorded for the period you need.
Check user permissions—only admin-level users may have access to view specific logs.
If logs are still missing, clear the Progreda cache and refresh the page.
Access Logs Overview
Q: Why can't I see access logs for my WordPress site within the Progreda?
A: Missing access logs can be caused by incorrect settings, disabled tracking, or server-level restrictions.
Steps to Fix:
Navigate to Progreda Dashboard → Site Management → Analytics.
Select the Visitors Report and scroll down to find the Access Logs section.
Ensure that access log tracking is enabled under site settings.
If logs are missing, check the Progreda’s retention settings—logs may be deleted after a set period.
Confirm that the hosting provider allows access log storage and retrieval within the Progreda.
Audit Logs Overview
Q: Why are some user actions missing from the audit logs?
A: Audit logs may not capture all events due to role-based restrictions or disabled tracking.
Steps to Fix:
Navigate to Progreda Dashboard → Settings.
Scroll down and select Audit Logs.
Ensure that all significant actions (such as purchases, account modifications, site deletions) are enabled for tracking.
Verify if logging retention settings limit the time frame for stored logs.
If logs are not appearing, contact your Progreda administrator to ensure log tracking is enabled on the backend.
