Wordpress Debugging - PHP Logs
12 May 2021 in blog
Very quick one, more of a note to self that I can reference in the future. In order to debug php on a wordpress site, do the following:
// Create the file php-errors.log next to wp-config.php, ensure it's writable
// Add the following to wp-config.php
@ini_set('log_errors','On'); // enable or disable php error logging (use 'On' or 'Off')
@ini_set('display_errors','Off'); // enable or disable public display of errors (use 'On' or 'Off')
@ini_set('error_log','./php-errors.log');
This turns on php logging and pipes the logs into php-errors.log.
