Simple History Premium 1.13.0 Released — Richer User and Initiator Cards

|

In: , ,

Premium 1.13.0 makes the user and initiator cards in the activity log show a lot more at a glance — last login, last event, IP address, browser, and event counts — plus one-click links to filter the log down to a single user or source.

Richer user and initiator cards

Screenshot: Expanded user card for Sally displays the number of events for today, last 7 days, and total. It also shows the time of last login and event, and from what IP and what browser they are using.

Open the popover card for any user in the activity log and you’ll now see their last login and last event times, last IP, browser and OS, and how many events they’ve logged today, in the last 7 days, and in total — context you’d otherwise piece together by scrolling. Activity that doesn’t come from a logged-in user gets the same treatment: WP-CLI, anonymous visitors, WordPress core, and scheduled tasks each get a matching initiator card with a last-event time and the same event counts.

Both cards also add a one-click filter link — “View this user’s events” and “Filter the log by this initiator” — to narrow the whole log down to a single person or source.

Changelog

Added

  • Standalone activation — Premium can now be installed and activated without the free Simple History plugin already in place. A guided notice walks you through a one-click install or activate.
  • User card popover: last login and last event timestamps, last IP, browser/OS, and event counts (today, last 7 days, total) for any user in the log.
  • “View this user’s events” action link in the user card to filter the log down to that user.
  • Initiator card: last event timestamp and event counts (today, last 7 days, total) for WP-CLI, anonymous web users, WordPress core, and other initiator types.
  • “Filter the log by this initiator” action link on the initiator card.

Changed

  • The REST endpoint /simple-history/v1/initiators/{type}/card now returns the value field for stat detail items as a string instead of an integer, matching the user card endpoint. If you read this endpoint and compare with strict equality, you may need to update.
  • Requires Simple History 5.26.0.

Update from your WordPress dashboard. Premium 1.13.0 requires Simple History core 5.26.0 or later — if you’re not there yet, update core first.
