Example
The following code, inserted in your wp-config.php file, will log all errors, notices, and warnings to a file called debug.log in the wp-content directory. It will also hide the errors so they do not interrupt page generation.
// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
// Disable display of errors and warnings
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
Good practice If you want add custom messages to debug log add folowing code in your plugin or theme.
//Checking is function_exists
if ( !function_exists( 'print_to_log' ) ) {
//function writes a message to debug.log if debugging is turned on.
function print_to_log( $message )
{
if ( true === WP_DEBUG ) {
if ( is_array( $message ) || is_object( $message ) ) {
error_log( print_r( $message, true ) );
} else {
error_log( $message );
}
}
}
}
