How to exclude objects from the WordPress activity log

WP Activity Log includes an exclude objects feature that enables you to exclude specific objects from being logged. This KB entry explains how to configure this option.

IMPORTANT: It is important to note that excluded objects are not logged, and no data is collected. To resume data collection, you’ll need to remove any exclusions configured for that object.
