WP Changes Tracker Plugin

Ever found yourself in the situation where you updated a series of plugins with no apparent issue, only to find out a few days later that something went terribly wrong… But what? Which plugins did i upgrade? Until now, you had to rely on your own note taking or memory.

This plugin keeps track of all changes made to your wordpress structure: core, network, plugins and options, for now. Themes will come soon.

Since version 2.0.0, the log can be exported as .csv.

Please rate the plugin if you like it.
Thanks,
