Debug Log Manager allows you to:
- Enable WP_DEBUG with one click to log PHP, database and JavaScript errors when you need to, and disable it when you’re done. No need to manually edit wp-config.php file.
- Create the debug.log file for you in a non-default location with a custom file name for enhanced security.
- Copy the content of the default / existing debug.log file into the custom debug.log file, and delete the default / existing debug.log file. So there is continuation in logging and enhanced security going forward.
- Parse the debug.log file and view distinct errors and when they last occurred, which is better than looking at the raw log file (potentially) full of repetitive errors.
- Quickly find and filter more specific errors for your debugging work.
- Make error details easier to read by identifying error source (core / plugin / theme) and separating file path and line number.
- Easily view files where PHP errors occurred. This includes WordPress core, plugin and theme files.
- Enable auto-refresh to automatically load new log entries. No need to manually reload the browser tab, or to
tail -f
the log file on the command line. - Easily clear the debug.log file to save disk space and more easily observe newly occurring errors on your site.
- Show an indicator on the admin bar when error logging is enabled.
- Add a dashboard widget showing the latest errors logged.
- Use
error_log()
to output error info into your debug log. e.g.error_log( $error_message )
for simple, string-based error message, orerror_log( json_encode( $error ) )
when inspecting a more complex error info, e.g. array or object.
A simpler and more compact version of Debug Log Manager is included as part of the System Dashboard plugin, should you prefer a single plugin that does more.

Will this work with the managed WordPress hosting I am on?
-
Maybe. It’s been tested with Kinsta and GridPane (with Secure Debug turned off). If you find it’s not working with your managed host, please post in the support forum about the issue / error you encounter. I may ask for a test site that I can work with.

How was this plugin built?

Protokol změnow
2.3.3 (2024.03.20)
- Properly escape unescaped $variables for improved security. Making good use of the excellent Plugin Check (PCP) plugin.
2.3.2 (2024.03.20)
- Fixed XSS vulnerability responsibly disclosed by Majed Refaea via pathstack.
- Fixed Broken Access Control vulnerability responsibly disclosed by Majed Refaea via pathstack.
- Fixed CSRF attack vulnerability responsibly disclosed by Dhabaleshwar Das via pathstack.
- Enable detection of change in WordPress installation path, e.g. when pushing from dev to production, or migrating to new host, and update the debug log file location settings. This should fix issue where the debug log entry viewer stopped working on such scenarios. To make sure Debug Log Manager works on the new site / destination, please deactivate and reactivate it. Props to @jeswd for reporting it here and @jrmyfranck and @drhnews for reporting it here.
2.3.1 (2023.11.30)
- Improved the randomness of the debug log file name for improved security.
2.3.0 (2023.11.29)
- Improved parsing of log entries with more than one set of bracketed info, e.g. [timestamp] [WARNING] detail info about error. It was parsed as „No error message specified…“. Props to @azzuwayed for providing the one important line of code with the right preg_replace regex pattern to fix that. I find people who can churn out regex patterns as needed to have a special superpower!
2.2.2 (2023.11.29)
- [SECURITY] Improved security of ajax call to clear log file. Authorized only for site admins and secured to prevent CSRF with nonce. Props to Dmitrii Ignatyev again for reminding to check on this one as well.
2.2.1 (2023.11.29)
- [IMPORTANT][SECURITY] Fixed a security issue where the debug log manager directory can be opened in the browser allowing visitors to see and download the debug log file which may contain sensitive information. Once you update to v2.2.1, please visit the debug log page at least once. This will create an empty index.php file in the DLM directory and prevent the issue. This vulnerability was responsibly disclosed by Dmitrii Ignatyev from CleanTalk inc. on November 2, 2023. Apologies if this took me a while to get around to as I was fully occupied with the launch of ASE Pro.
2.2.0 (2023.06.26)
- Hide dashboard widget and admin bar icon for non-administrator users
- Stop public.js from loading on the frontend if logging is disabled
2.1.4 (2023.04.15)
- Add link to WordPress Newsboard in footer
- [SPONSORSHIP] If you like or have benefited from this plugin in your personal project(s), paid work and/or client site(s), please kindly consider sponsoring the ongoing development and maintenance of this plugin (and my other plugins) from as little as USD 1 / month. Thank you!
2.1.3 (2023.02.25)
- Fixed „Undefined offset“ error. Props to @guyinpv for reporting the issue.
2.1.0 (2023.02.21)
- Correctly parse the content of entries added via the
error_log()
function. Instead ofprint_r()
, please usejson_encode()
, if you’re trying to output a PHP$variable
containing an array or object into the debug log. e.g.error_log( json_encode( $variable_name ) )
. Props to @guyinpv for reporting the issue.
2.0.0 (2022.12.03)
- WordPres core, plugin or theme files where PHP errors occurred can now be easily viewed by simply clicking on the file path in each error entry. This is done using core’s plugin/theme editor (modified to load in view-only mode) and the wordpress-develop repo on Github for core files.
- SCRIPT_DEBUG constant is now set to true in wp-config when error logging is enabled, which should help with debugging javascript errors.
- Added a button to disable plugin/theme editor below the error entries table. This is for when you’re done with debugging, i.e. you’ve disabled error logging and cleared the debug log file, and wants to keep things secure.
1.9.1 (2022.12.02)
- Fixed styling issue for external link dashicon in entries when datatable is auto-refreshed.

1.6.2 (2022.09.26)
- CSS fix to ensure error details are properly wrapped inside the data table and not cause the table to overflow the page width.
1.6.1 (2022.09.26)
- Improve detection of anchor text in wp-config.php for the WP_Config_Transformer class. Make sure toggling of WP_DEBUG works for wp-config.php that uses either „Happy publishing“ or „Happy blogging“.
1.6.0 (2022.09.25)
- Add admin bar status icon. Will only show up if error logging is enabled and on pages other than the Debug Log Manager main page, including the front end.
1.5.3 (2022.09.24)
- Improve log parser for handling error messages that contain the # and [ characters, e.g. „Argument #1“ or „[internal function]“
1.5.2 (2022.09.22)

- Bug fix: undefined function wp_filesize() in bootstrap.php. Props to @gleysen for reporting it.
1.3.1 (2022.09.18)
- Fix bugs around the auto-refresh feature. Disabling auto-refresh works only on the toggle and wp_option entry but not on the actual ajax calls. If auto-refresh is enabled, it only worked on clicking the toggle but not on page load. Both issues are fixed.

- Implement toast notifications on various action completions, e.g. clearing log file.
- Change date format to M j, Y – H:i:s, e.g. Dec 31, 2021 – 20:06:34.
- Implment auto-refresh feature that will automatically load the latest error entries every 5 seconds.
1.2.0 (2022.09.16)
- Fix detection of existing debug log file, if there is one, so it is copied correctly into DLM’s debug log file.
- Auto update entries table when logging is enabled, including when copying entries from existing debug.log file.
