I would like to know if there is a history log in the back end of WP that will tell me if an admin deleted blog posts, or changed things on a calendar, etc. I manage a blog where I think some sabotage is taking place and I would like to be able to pinpoint why blog posts have disappeared.
http://niagara.resa-hq.orgHi,
there are a bunch of plugins that can do that. Here are just two examples:

Non-trustworthy users - a depressing prospect! I never thought about this before, but along with Christoph's good ideas, here's another one:

Thank you to you both! Besides moving forward, is there anything in the back end of WP that I can see what happened already?
Shell
Not in plain admin, I'm quite sure.
But I'm going to guess that any of those plugins will show past events - by their very nature, they have to look into the past. They would be reading the database to work that out. I haven't looked at a raw database in awhile, but I would guess that each post would have recorded data about update date, possibly update author, and more, either on its own record, or in transients, which also record past data.
I'll also guess, though, that they can only go back so far, as it would be inefficient to store every change forever.
There's loads of past data laying around in WP now, just think about all the post/page revisions you can go back to. So there's a pretty rich quantity of data that plugins and humans can look at.
You could try asking the plugin authors in their support areas.
Good luck,
Dave
