WP Activity Log’s straightforward features allowed InSchoolwear to organize various administrative and security issues.

InSchoolwear is a Canadian uniform supplier that’s been in business for 25 years. Driven by love and passion for tartan and eco-sustainability, they have grown their online retail presence to thousands of users, with many more making use of their brick-and-mortar retail stores.
We recently had the pleasure of speaking to Michael Loucas, who manages InSchoolwear’s website. With thousands of registered users making use of their website, this is no easy feat, which is why professional tools designed to get the job done feature high on his priority list.
One such tool is the activity log. Used to track system and user activity across WordPress, it provides a detailed and consistent log of everything that happens on the website, helping administrators ensure accountability while improving troubleshooting processes, administration, and security.
The start of a great adventure
As a seasoned administrator, Michael understood the need for a professional logging solution for InSchoolwear’s WordPress website from the get-go. He started his hunt for a WordPress activity log through lots of research, scouring the internet to understand which plugin could best assist their growing business.
As the research progressed, it became apparent that WP Activity Log was the clear winner. It can track a wide range of activities straight out of the box and supports 3rd party plugins through the use of plugin extensions. It also allows for future growth thanks to its API, which allows anyone to develop their own sensor should they need to do so. The User Sessions Management module proved to be another feature that impacted the decision to purchase WP Activity Log.
This was 12 months ago, and since then, Michael has come to consider WP Activity Log a vital tool in his arsenal.
“I chose WP Activity Log after a lot of of reading and researching.”

Picking the right tools for a job well done
When considering which plugin to get, several features tipped the scales in favour of WP Activity Log, including the wide breadth of activities it can track, the effortless WooCommerce integration, and last but not least, the User Session Management module.
The latter proved to be particularly useful, especially when backups need to be performed and users need to be logged out. The inactive user logout feature, which automatically logs out inactive users, proved to be just as important of a feature, ensuring efficient use of available resources while minimizing security risks.
“From technical difficulties to resolving security concerns and upholding user responsibilities, WP Activity Log allows our website to remain operational without hindrance.”
