What It Does

This plugin sends an email to the WordPress System email or any other configured email address each time somebody logs into WordPress. This is handy if there are not many logins each day or week to keep track of all of them and being able to detect unauthorized logins.

The email contains the username, user id, and user role. Other data included is the Date & Time and the IP Address.

This plugin is an enhanced version of the plugin Email notification on admin login, that tracks all users, includes user role, translations, and the lookup of the country of the IP from which the form is sent.

In order to display the Country, it needs the Geolocation IP Detection plugin that can be found in the WordPress plugin repository. This plugin provides geographic information detected by an IP address.

If the Geolocation IP Detection plugin is not installed and enabled, you will only see the IP address, without the country of the IP address.

This plugin is available in English and Spanish. If you would like the plugin in your language and you are good at translating, please drop us a line.
