## Description

Keep your WordPress site secure and under control by monitoring all plugin-related
activities.

Deviser Shield tracks important WordPress plugin activities, including activations,
deactivations, deletions, and file modifications. It helps site administrators detect
unauthorized changes, troubleshoot issues, and maintain full visibility over plugin
activity.

Email notifications for plugin activations, deactivations, and deletions are sent
instantly to the site administrator or to custom email addresses configured in the
plugin settings.

For file and folder modifications, the plugin performs an automated scan every 15
minutes using WordPress Cron. If any changes are detected, an email notification
is sent with details of modified, added, or deleted files.

In addition to email alerts, Deviser Shield maintains a local activity log file (`
deviser-shield.log`) within the plugin directory. Administrators can view these 
logs directly from the settings page via a premium, interactive modal log viewer.
The categorizing them with colored badges and details, and features instant real-
time search filtering, a copy-to-clipboard function, and log clearing capabilities.
