Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via the WordPress plugin screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **TimeGuard > Projects** and set up your clients, projects and hourly rates. 4. Use the Start/Stop button in the admin bar, or **New Entry** on the Entries screen. ## FAQ ### Where are my time entries stored? In your own WordPress database, in the table `wp_frtlp_time_entries`, per user. ### Does uninstalling delete my time entries? No. Uninstalling removes the plugin settings but deliberately leaves the entries table intact so billing history is never lost by accident. ### Can I export my time entries? Yes: all entries, per project, or per client, as CSV including rate and amount columns. ### I upgraded from 1.0.x. Do I lose anything? No. The database, option names and text domain are unchanged. Existing entries get the hourly rate you configure for their project. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “TimeGuard – Freelancer Time Log Pro” is open source software.

In Excel these are live SUM formulas, so the totals update if you add or remove rows. #### 1.1.4 * Fixed: a project’s totals on the Projects screen only counted entries logged after the 1.1.0 update. Older entries used a different label separator (“Client— Project” instead of “Client – Project”), which split one project into two and hid part of its time and earnings. Totals now cover every entry again, and existing labels are normalised automatically on update. #### 1.1.3 * Maintenance release: version bump, no functional changes. #### 1.1.2 * New: the save-entry dialog now defaults to the project you used last. * Fixed: the row action menu on the Entries table is no longer clipped by the card; it opens as an overlay and flips upward near the bottom. * Changed: the billable-time bar on Projects is now a single green, so a full bar no longer looks like a red warning. * Added: a settings emblem on the Settings screen header. #### 1.1.1 * New: Export is now its own tab where you pick the project or client and the format, and export directly to a formatted Excel (.xlsx) file — hours, rate and amount stay real numbers, so no more CSV column juggling. CSV is still available. * New: Settings is now its own tab with only the currency and default-rate card; projects stay on the Projects tab. * Changed: the Guard mascot sits in the sidebar with the “Guard says” note as a separate card below it, matching the daneGuard / HelpGuard layout. * Fixed: admin notices from other plugins no longer appear inside the Entries card. #### 1.1.0 * New: TimeGuard interface for the Entries and Projects screens, with a Guard-style navy sidebar (Tracking and System groups) and metric cards matching the daneGuard/ HelpGuard family. * New: hourly rate per project, billable flag per entry, automatic earnings. * New: add time entries manually, without using the timer. * New: tags on entries, week/month/all-time filtering and pagination. * New: rebuild the project list from your logged entries if it was ever emptied, and apply project rates to entries that do not have one yet. * Fixed: “Add project” and “Remove row” on the Projects screen did nothing, because the handler was never initialised and the client list was never loaded on that screen. * Fixed: a failed database write during Save no longer discards the tracked time. * Fixed: the tracked duration is now calculated server-side only and can no longer be overridden by the browser. * Fixed: the full site user list is no longer exposed on the Entries screen. * Fixed: projects whose names differ only in punctuation or casing no longer collapse into one another. * Fixed: CSS and JavaScript are versioned by plugin version again, so updates are no longer served from browser cache. * Fixed: invalid project rows now produce a warning instead of disappearing silently. * Fixed: the database upgrade now runs for whoever opens wp-admin first, instead of only for administrators, so non-admin users can never hit the new screens before the new columns exist. * Fixed: the plugin survives being executed more than once in the same request, which happens on stacks using OPcache preload or a loader that uses require() instead of require_once(). The class is declared conditionally and the plugin boots exactly once. * Removed: unused stop-save AJAX endpoint and dead cache helpers. #### 1.0.3 * Updated script loading and prefixed plugin identifiers for WordPress.org review compliance. #### 1.0.2 * Updated text domain and internationalization loading for WordPress.org compliance. #### 1.0.0 * Initial public release. ## Meta * Version **1.1.5** * Last updated **3 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/freelancer-time-log-pro/) * Tags * [admin bar](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/admin-bar/)[freelancers](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/freelancers/) [invoicing](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/invoicing/)[Time Tracker](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/time-tracker/) [Time Tracking](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/time-tracking/) * [Advanced View](https://twd.wordpress.org/plugins/freelancer-time-log-pro/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
