The logs are accessible via the WordPress admin dashboard.<\/p>\n\n Who can view the change logs? =\nOnly users with manage_options capability, typically administrators, can access the change logs through the WordPress admin dashboard.<\/p>\n\n Can the plugin track all types of profile changes? =\nYes, the plugin tracks changes to all user profile fields that are part of WordPress core. Changes made by third-party plugins are not tracked unless they use the profile_update hook.<\/p>\n\n How are the logs stored? =\nThe logs are stored in a custom database table created by the plugin. This ensures the data is isolated from other WordPress tables for easy management and retrieval.<\/p>\n\n What happens to the logs if the plugin is deactivated or uninstalled? =\nIf the plugin is deactivated, the logs remain in the database. Upon uninstallation, the custom database table and all logs are permanently deleted.<\/p>\n\n Can I export the update logs? =\nExport functionality is not included in the free version, For more features, including exports, please purchae UserView Pro at https:\/\/plugins.guru-is.com.<\/p>","raw_excerpt":"Logs user activities like profile updates, additions, and deletions, offering a dashboard for easy viewing and management.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/220715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220715"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/guruplugins"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=220715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=220715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=220715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=220715"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bal.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=220715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
