Detailed Stats & Summaries Dashboard
The free version of Simple History gives you access to the basic Summary box with total counts. But with Premium, you unlock the full analytics experience:
- Visual Activity Tracking: Monitor peak activity times and days with interactive charts
- Plugin Intelligence: Track installations, activations, deactivations, updates, and deletions
- User Activity Metrics: Analyze login attempts, profile updates, and user management
- Content Management Insights: View detailed stats on posts, pages, and media files
- Expandable Details: Drill down into each section to reveal specific event information
- Custom Date Ranges: Analyze data from any time period, not just the last month
The Premium Stats & Summaries dashboard transforms Simple History from a basic logging tool into a comprehensive analytics platform for your WordPress site’s activity, giving you deeper insights and better visibility into exactly what’s happening behind the scenes.
Manual log entries
With Premium you get a user-friendly GUI where admins can add custom events to the log.
This is a handy way to notify other admins of important actions done – or just to remind yourself what you have done recently.
Entered messages will be visible in the log, complete with timestamps and user attribution:
Stealth Mode control
Keep the Simple History plugin hidden from all users except those you specify. By adding email addresses or domain wildcards, only authorized users (e.g., site owners or trusted team members) can see the Simple History GUI and the logs – ensuring your activity history stays invisible to everyone else.
For developers and power users there is also WP-CLI commands for controlling Partial Stealth Mode.

wp simple-history partial-stealth-mode status
wp simple-history partial-stealth-mode enable
wp simple-history partial-stealth-mode disable
wp simple-history partial-stealth-mode get-authorized-emails
wp simple-history partial-stealth-mode set-authorized-emails
Log Retention
Set how many days logs are stored before deletion (keep an eye on your database size though!), or choose to keep logs indefinitely based on your preferences.
Export Search Results
Export search results quickly and easily in CSV or JSON formats. Use these exports for further analysis or to integrate with other tools.
Control the number of logged Failed Login Attempts
Limit how many failed login attempts are logged to reduce clutter and highlight critical log events more effectively.
It can be useful to keep an eye on failed login attempts to both known and unknown user accounts. On some websites the log can be filled with login attempts, to both known and unknown user accounts, and depending on the amount of failed attempts, the log can be flooded with messages.
This not only takes up database storage but also distracts users from potentially more important log messages.
Control IP Address Anonymization
By default, the IP addresses that are stored and shown for a successful or failed user login attempt are anonymized. Simple History Premium adds a setting so you can choose to store the full IP address.
This also gives you a more accurate location when showing the location of login attempts on Google Maps function.
Show the location of login attempts on Google Maps
Visualize the origins of login attempts on Google Maps, helping you detect brute force attacks and other suspicious activity.
Message Control
Use the Message Control feature to enable or disable specific loggers and their messages, tailoring your logs to suit your team’s needs.
New features continuously added
Yup – we’re adding new features base on your feedback and our goal to be your favorite audit log plugin!
Hide promotional banners to minimize distractions
