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 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0e07089e65cb0633acdb039ac10f6a2263840a30dee552d393c4610d207f0414? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great tool for tracking freelance work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-tool-for-tracking-freelance-work/)󠁿 [Peter Kagunda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kagunda/) October 2, 2026 A straightforward time tracking plugin with useful project and billing features.

The row menu on the Entries screen now has an “Edit entry” action that opens the entry form prefilled with its project, date, duration, ticket, tag, billable flag and description, so you can correct a mistake without deleting and re-adding it. Earnings, billable share and project totals recalculate from the saved values. Editing follows the same ownership rules as deleting: you can only edit your own entries. #### 1.1.5 * New: exports now end with a totals row for time and amount. 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 **1.1.6** * Last updated **1 month ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.7** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/freelancer-time-log-pro/) * Tags * [admin bar](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/admin-bar/)[freelancers](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/freelancers/) [invoicing](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/invoicing/)[Time Tracker](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/time-tracker/) [Time Tracking](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/time-tracking/) * [Advanced View](https://srd.wordpress.org/plugins/freelancer-time-log-pro/advanced/) ## Ratings 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 1 5-star review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/freelancer-time-log-pro/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/freelancer-time-log-pro/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/freelancer-time-log-pro/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/freelancer-time-log-pro/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/freelancer-time-log-pro/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/freelancer-time-log-pro/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/freelancer-time-log-pro/reviews/) ## Contributors * [ Fred ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fredawd/) ## Support Got something to say?
