SleekView Charts for WP Config File Editor: config audit
WP Config File Editor saves every wp-config.php change as a log entry in postmeta or a custom option, with timestamp, user, and constant name. SleekView Charts reads that log and renders edits per user, constants by type, and edit frequency over time.

From a flat edit log to a config audit dashboard
WP Config File Editor lets admins toggle and edit wp-config.php constants without touching the file. Each change is recorded in a log table or options entry the plugin owns, with columns for the constant name, the previous and new value, the user who made the edit, and the timestamp.
SleekView Charts reads that log alongside the current set of constants stored in the plugin's options. A Number KPI counts edits in the last 30 days. A Pie chart groups changes by constant type (security, debug, performance, custom). A Bar chart ranks the users with the most config touches, useful when a multi-admin site needs an audit trail. An Area chart shows edit frequency over weeks so spikes line up with launches and incidents.
The chart cards read the same data that powers the plugin's own history view, but render it as KPIs instead of a list. Compliance reviews and SRE retros stop relying on screenshots of an admin screen and start pointing at the dashboard URL. The plugin still owns the file-editing safety net; SleekView Charts owns the audit lens that the team uses to ask whether config changes are concentrated where they should be.

Comparison
Default WP Config File Editor log vs SleekView Charts
Default plugin edit history
- Edit history is a flat paginated list with no chart cards
- No KPI for total edits in the last period
- Constant-type grouping requires manually tagging each row
- Top-editor ranking is not surfaced in the plugin UI
- No trend chart of edits over time, even though timestamps exist
SleekView Charts
- Reads the plugin's edit log table and active-constants option live
- Number KPI for edits in the current window with a previous-period delta
- Pie split by constant type for security, debug, performance, custom
- User ranking joined against wp_users for readable editor names
- Area trend of edits per week pulled straight from edited_at
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for WP Config File Editor
Audit trail as a dashboard
Compliance reviewers stop screenshotting list pages. The total-edits KPI, the constant-type donut, and the editor ranking all live behind a single dashboard URL ready for review.
Incident signal
An unexpected spike in the edits-per-week area chart is often the first sign that someone is firefighting in production. The chart surfaces it before anyone files a ticket.
Team accountability
Editor ranking by user makes it obvious who is touching wp-config most. Useful for distributing review load or for tightening permissions on a multi-admin site.
Audience
Where wp-config charts change the audit
Compliance reviews
Quarterly access reviews include a dashboard of edits per user and per constant type. The artefact replaces screenshots of paginated lists.
SRE and ops
Incident retros pull the edits-per-week area chart to confirm whether config drift contributed to the outage. The answer is one URL away.
Agencies
Client handovers include a baseline of which constants were edited and by whom. The chart is shareable evidence of the config state at the moment of delivery.
The bigger picture
Config drift is the silent failure mode
wp-config.php is the single most consequential file in a WordPress install. A toggled constant disables caching, exposes errors in production, opens up file editing, or breaks the trust model in ways nobody notices until the site is on fire. WP Config File Editor does the right thing by logging every change.
The log is in the database. The data is there. What is missing is the picture.
A flat list cannot answer the questions that matter during an audit or a retro: how many edits happened this week, who made them, what kind of constants got touched, and whether the spike correlates with an incident or a launch. SleekView Charts answers those four questions with four cards, all built from the same log the plugin already maintains. The team gets compliance-grade reporting without writing a parallel audit system, and the chart cards live next to the rest of the SleekView dashboards instead of in a one-off compliance tool.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for WP Config File Editor
From the plugin's own log table or its custom options entry, depending on the configuration. Both store the constant name, previous value, new value, user_id, and edited_at timestamp. SleekView Charts reads them directly without a parallel log.
Yes. SleekView Charts ships with a mapping rule that groups well-known constants into categories like security, debug, performance, and custom. The donut chart renders straight from that mapping with no extra work in WP Admin.
Yes. SleekView Charts paginates and caches large datasets, and the chart aggregations run as SQL group-bys. Sites with years of wp-config edits still render the headline cards in well under a second.
Yes. The user filter applies at the dashboard level. Pick an editor and every chart reshapes to show just their activity. Useful during access reviews or when investigating a specific incident.
Yes. SleekView Charts treats each data source independently. You can run a config-edit dashboard from WP Config File Editor and a broader user-activity dashboard from a separate audit log without anything colliding.
Yes. SleekView dashboards respect capability checks. Only roles that can already see the wp-config edit log will see the chart cards. Visibility never widens beyond the plugin's own permissions model.
Yes. SleekView Charts exposes the dashboard data as CSV or JSON for any card. Compliance teams that need a flat file for archival get one without losing the live chart on the dashboard.
No. The chart queries run on demand and the heavy work happens in SQL. There is no nightly cron rebuilding a parallel data set, and the WP Admin dashboard widget renders without blocking the rest of the screen.
