TrackPress

Minimal user and visitor tracking plugin with separate logs for users, visitors, and admin actions.

Description

• Separate Database Tables: Three optimized tables for users, visitors, and admin actions
• Clean Admin Interface: Simple, intuitive interface with pagination, search, and filtering
• Export Functionality: Export logs in CSV format for external analysis
• Privacy Controls: Exclude specific user roles, IP addresses, and pages from tracking
• Auto Cleanup: Automatically remove old logs based on your retention policy

What Gets Tracked:

• Users: Login/logout, page views, form submissions, comments, searches
• Visitors: Page views, outbound links, scroll depth, time on page, form submissions, 404 errors
• Admin: Post/page edits, user management, plugin/theme changes, settings updates, media uploads

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this plugin GDPR compliant?

TrackPress provides tools to help with GDPR compliance (IP anonymization, data retention controls, export/delete functionality), but you should configure it according to your specific legal requirements and privacy policy.
