Extend the `Audit_Export_Audit` abstract class 2. Implement required methods: `prepare_data()` and `process_data()` 3. Set audit properties: `$label`, `$description`, `$group`, `$data_type` 4. Register with the audit manager using the `audit_export_register_audits` action Example: ``` class My_Custom_Audit extends Audit_Export_Audit { protected $label = 'My Custom Audit'; protected $description = 'Audits custom functionality'; protected $group = 'custom'; public function prepare_data() { // Return array of items to process } public function process_data( $item ) { // Process individual item and return data row } } ``` #### Database Structure The plugin creates a table `{prefix}_audit_export_reports` with columns: * `id`– Primary key * `audit_name` – Audit identifier * `audit_data` – JSON-encoded audit results * `created_at` – Timestamp * `created_by` – User ID ### Support For bug reports and feature requests, please use the [plugin support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/audit-export/). ### Privacy Policy This plugin stores audit data in your WordPress database and optionally saves CSV files to your server. When remote posting is enabled, audit data is sent to configured external endpoints. No data is sent to third parties without explicit configuration. ## Installation 1. Upload the `audit-export` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Navigate to Tools > Audit Export to configure settings 4. Run your first audit from the Reports Overview page #### Requirements * WordPress 5.0 or higher * PHP 7.2 or higher * WP-CLI (optional, for command-line operations) ## FAQ ### How do I run an audit? You can run audits in three ways: 1. Through the WordPress admin interface under Tools > Audit Export > Reports Overview 2. Using WP-CLI commands (see WP-CLI Integration section) 3. Automatically via cron if enabled in settings ### Where are the audit reports stored? Reports are stored in a custom database table and optionally exported as CSV files to your chosen directory (uploads or wp-content). ### Can I add custom audits? Yes! The plugin uses an extensible architecture. You can create custom audit classes extending the `Audit_Export_Audit` abstract class and register them with the audit manager. ### Is the plugin multisite compatible? The plugin works on multisite installations but operates on a per-site basis. Each site in the network maintains its own audit data. ### How do I send audit data to a remote server? Configure the Remote Post settings with your endpoint URL and authentication details. The plugin supports Basic Authentication and Bearer Token authentication methods. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Audit Export” is open source software.
