Recent Changes

Recent Changes gives you a live pulse on your wiki - a chronological log of every edit, grouped by date, so you can see at a glance what your community has been working on.

What You’ll See

Each entry in the list displays:

• Time of the edit (HH:MM format)
• Page title linked to the full wiki page
• Editor’s avatar and name (pulled from the most recent revision author)
• Edit summary in parentheses, if the editor provided one when saving
• A history link to jump straight to that page’s full revision history

Entries are grouped under date headings (e.g., “March 12, 2026”) in reverse chronological order, so the newest edits are always at the top.

Time Filter

Use the filter bar at the top to narrow results to a specific window. For example, after a sprint of wiki work you can quickly check “Last 1 day” to review everything your team touched:

Filter	Shows changes from
Last 1 day	Past 24 hours
Last 3 days	Past 3 days
Last 7 days	Past week
Last 14 days	Past two weeks
Last 30 days	Past month (default)

Clicking a filter reloads the view with the selected range via the ?days= URL parameter.

Pagination

The view is paginated at 50 entries per page. Use the ?wiki_paged= URL parameter to navigate between pages.

Accessing Recent Changes

Navigate to Recent Changes by adding this parameter to your wiki dashboard URL:

?wbmw_action=recent-changes

Or use the helper function in templates:

$url = wbmw_get_recent_changes_url();

Developer Notes

The Recent Changes query uses WordPress’s date_query against post_modified to filter by the selected day range. It retrieves only published wiki pages, ordered by modification date descending.

The editor shown for each entry is taken from the most recent WordPress revision for that page. If no revision exists, it falls back to the page’s post_author.

To customize the day filter options, override the wiki-recent-changes.php template in your theme (see Template Overrides).
