## Description

Site Update Logger gives site owners and agencies full visibility into every update
event happening across WordPress core, plugins, and themes. It records version changes,
install/uninstall events, activations, deactivations, and theme switches while also
capturing PHP errors that occur during updates. Logs are organized per month, downloadable,
and annotated with custom notes so you can build an auditable change history that
is easy to search and share.

#### Key Features

 * Logs WordPress core updates with before/after versions
 * Tracks plugin and theme lifecycle events: install, update, activation, deactivation,
   and deletion
 * Captures theme switch activity and provides network scope for plugin actions
 * Stores logs in monthly files under the uploads folder: `wp-content/uploads/site-
   update-logger/logs/`
 * Provides an admin screen with filters, downloads, and user notes
 * Includes bilingual English/Spanish interface strings with compiled MO files
 * Offers a settings page to control whether data is removed on uninstall
 * Protects actions with capability checks, nonces, and sanitized inputs

   file.

## FAQ

### What does “Scope” mean in the logs?

Scope indicates whether a plugin activation or deactivation occurred on a single
site or across the entire multisite network.

### Are logs grouped by day?

Yes. Each log entry includes a timestamp and logs are listed in reverse chronological
order within each daily section.

### How do I translate the plugin?

Use the included `languages/site-update-logger.pot` file to create a new `.po`/`.
mo` pair. Store them in the same directory following the `textdomain-locale.mo` 
naming convention.

### Can I keep my logs when uninstalling?

Yes. Use the checkbox on the Settings page. When unchecked, uninstalling preserves
all log files so you can archive them manually.
