This is the main PHP file of "WP Activity Log for bbPress" version 1.0.6, providing information about the plugin in the header fields and serving as the principal entry point to the plugin's functions
Please take the time to fix the following:
  • Text Domain: The text domain is optional since WordPress version 4.6; if you do specify it, it must be the same as the plugin slug
  • Main file name: It is recommended to name the main PHP file as the plugin slug ("wp-security-audit-log-add-on-for-bbpress.php" instead of "wsal-bbpress.php")
