MH User Activity Monitor

MH User Activity Monitor helps site owners monitor current user activity in the WordPress admin area. It displays logged-in users, WooCommerce customers, anonymous visitors and detected bots in a live overview.

The plugin uses its own database table, a structured class-based architecture, external CSS and JavaScript files, scheduled cleanup tasks, configurable privacy options, improved bot detection and basic attack-pattern detection.

Main features include:

• Live overview with dashboard cards and filters.
• Active visitor table with status, visitor type, current page, referrer, IP display mode and user agent.
• WooCommerce cart summary for active sessions when WooCommerce data is available, with configurable storage modes for item count, item count plus total, or product details.
• Bot detection with categories and visual risk indicators.
• Detection of common suspicious request patterns, such as XML-RPC, login probes, environment file probes and PHP wrapper probes.
• Short page history per visitor.
• Configurable IP anonymization, with anonymized IPs as the default for new installations.
• Privacy modes: Standard, Data-saving and Strict.
• Stored URLs and referrers are saved without query parameters. User-Agent, URL and referrer values are length-limited before storage.
• Ignore lists for IP addresses, URLs and user agents, including support for exact IPs, IPv4 wildcards and IPv4/IPv6 CIDR ranges.
• Configurable frontend ping interval.
• Frontend ping can be disabled completely or restricted to WooCommerce pages.
• Trusted proxy header support with server-side validation of allowed proxy IP rules.
• Automatic cleanup through WordPress Cron.
• Multilingual help page inside the plugin.

The plugin is intended for short-term operational monitoring. Site owners should review local privacy requirements before enabling features that display IP addresses, user agents, referrers, page history or WooCommerce cart information.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.2 or newer.
