About this plugin
ConacLog is a WordPress plugin that records and analyzes website access logs directly within your WordPress installation.
It stores visitor access information securely in a dedicated database table. Administrators can view statistics and detailed access activity from the WordPress dashboard.
Features:
- Access log recording
- Analytics dashboard
- Multisite support
- Configurable IP storage (raw + hash or hash-only)
- Built-in data cleanup and privacy maintenance tools
- Uses a dedicated endpoint for logging instead of admin-ajax.php,which helps avoid issues in environments where admin-ajax requests may be blocked.
- Works even with the default WordPress permalink structure.
All log data is stored locally in the WordPress database and is accessible only to site administrators.
Privacy
ConacLog stores access log data in a dedicated database table within WordPress.
Stored data includes:
- Visitor IP address (always stored as a hashed value; optionally stored in raw form)
- Remote host name (stored only when raw IP storage is enabled)
- Access date and time
- Requested URL
If hashed-only storage is enabled, raw IP addresses and remote host names are not stored.
If raw IP storage is enabled, both the raw IP address and its hashed value are stored.
Administrators may remove stored raw IP addresses and remote host names using the plugin’s maintenance tools.
A small cookie may be set to identify administrator self-access for filtering purposes. This cookie is stored locally in the browser and is not transmitted to any external service.
No log data is transmitted automatically.
