WordPress, by default, does not track when updates have happened. WP Client Reports
adds the functionality to do that, but it cannot report updates that happened before
the plugin was installed.

 [nbguy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nbguy/) March 3, 2020

I stumbled across this plugin my accident and I am very glad I did. I am replacing
all of my current reporting with this. Client reporting is one of the things that
I offer my clients, and I have never been satisfied with the reports, until now!
I highly recommend this plugin.

### 󠀁[Great new tool to show the value of website maintenance](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-new-tool-to-show-the-value-of-website-maintenance/)󠁿

WordPress websites – even sites that aren’t changing or adding content on a daily
basis – can have a lot going on under the hood. If site maintenance is part of your
business or job, WP Client Reports is a clean, easy-to-use tool that lets you quickly
ship out periodic reports that track plugin, theme and core updates. And for internal
troubleshooting, WP Client Reports is a reference point for your plugin updating
history.

My clients don’t understand the volume of maintenance work I did for them recently…
Until now!!! Once configured, WP Client Reports is the perfect tool to let my clients
know all the awesome stuff I’ve been doing for them over the past month! With a 
few clicks, I’m able to send them an email documenting all the plugin updates, theme
upgrades, form submissions/conversions, uptime, Mailchimp email sent, and more that
I’ve completed over the past month! It’s the best all-in-one tool I’ve found for
this sort of reporting. Highly-recommend!!
