 * Hello [@vinitpatilprocreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinitpatilprocreator/)
 * Thank you for your message and for using our plugin.
 * I am sorry to read about your issue. To start off with, can you please tell us
   what version of WordPress, PHP and the plugin that you are using?
 * Also, can you try this on a browser in Incognito mode? Can the problem be reproduced
   then?
 * And, if you try to sort out the activity log by event ID, or by user, does the
   same problem happen?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * As you asked we’re using following versions of
    Wordpress – 5.9 PHP – 7.4.21 
   WP Activity Plugin – 4.3.4
 * I tried it in incognito mode and sorted out by event ID or by user but issue 
   is still there.
 * Please look into it.

 * Hello [@vinitpatilprocreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinitpatilprocreator/)
 * Thank you for the update.
 * We can confirm that the sorting of any column on a vanilla install works. This
   seems something very specific to your environment. In this case we’ll need more
   information. Can you please s[end us the system information file](https://wpactivitylog.com/support/kb/send-wordpress-system-info-file-plugin-support/)
   via email at support at wpwhitesecurity dot com so we can better understand your
   setup? Please do not share any sensitive technical information on this forum 
   thread.
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * Hello [@vinitpatilprocreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinitpatilprocreator/)
 * Thank you for sending over the file. Based on what we have seen there is nothing
   that could affect the behaviour of the plugin. However, there is something with
   the sorting URL.
 * In your first post you said that when you try to sort the events it redirects
   to this URL: /wp-admin/admin.php?orderby=user&order=desc
 * That URL has a missing parameter, which is highlighted in this URL: /wp-admin/
   admin.php?**page=wsal-auditlog**&orderby=user&order=desc
 * It seems like you have something that is truncating / changing that URL, something
   that maybe rewrites the URL.
 * Do you have any plugins or customization that might be doing this?

 * Hi Robert
 * We’re testing this use case on **clean WordPress** (default theme – twenty twenty
   one) & no plugins except WP activity log & latest WordPress version i.e 5.9.2
 * And unfortunately, it still redirects to :/wp-admin/admin.php?orderby=user&order
   =desc instead of URL: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wsal-auditlog&orderby=user&order
   =desc
 * **Problem is still there**. I’ll suggest to check from your side and help us 
   with this.

 * Hello [@vinitpatilprocreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinitpatilprocreator/)
 * Thank you for the update. Have you tried this on the same web server? If yes,
   can you please try on a different web server?
 * This could be a web server / URL redirect config issue.
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * We tried same thing on localhost as well as digital ocean server. issue is still
   there.
 * Also we tried on clean WordPress i.e default theme + no other plugins and issue
   is still there.
 * Meanwhile, when we make changes in theme settings. we’re not getting any logs.
   is it possible to get logs if someone make changes in theme settings?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * Hello [@vinitpatilprocreator](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinitpatilprocreator/)
 * Thank you for the update. I am sorry to read that the URL issue persists. Please
   refer to our last support ticket email for more information on how to troubleshoot
   the issue.
 * Regarding the theme settings, the plugin does not keep a lot of changes done 
   in third party themes settings by default. In your case you need to [create an activity log extension](https://wpactivitylog.com/support/kb/create-custom-events-wordpress-activity-log/).
 * I hope this helps. Please let us know if have any more questions.
 * Have a good day.
