Debug Logger

Ìgbéwọlẹ̀

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload the wp-debug-logger folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

3. Enable debugging in your wp-config.php

   // in your wp-config.php
   define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
   define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false );
   define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
   define( ‘WP_DEBUG_MINIMUM_LEVEL’, ‘debug’ );

   // For good measure, this will hide errors from being displayed on-screen
   @ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);

4. As you write your code, sprinkle in these Log methods.

Minimum Level

WP_DEBUG_MINIMUM_LEVEL is a new constant that determines the minimum severity level you wish to write to your wp-content/debug.log file. In your development environment, I recommend using debug so you can see all the errors being written. For your production environment, IÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’d recommend the error level, so you can capture all the significant problems. Here are the values to use: emergency, alert, critical, error, warning, notice, info, debug. Note: theyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re all lowercase, as the value is case-sensitive.

Displaying Errors

In your development environment, you may choose to set WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY to true, so the error messages show in your browser. However, I strongly recommend that you do not change it, for your production environment. These settings can be placed anywhere above the line.
