File operations should use the WP_Filesystem methods instead of direct PHP filesystem calls. The WordPress coding styles require that you make use of the WP Filesystem instead of using direct PHP file functions. You can replace your file_get_contents call easily with: $response = wp_remote_get($feed_url); $file_content = $response[‘body’]; For more specific infos just take a look … Read more
What you’re looking for is the Log Deprecated Notices plugin. (Don’t run it on a production site, as it is a direct-to-database log.) What it’ll do is convert those cryptic messages that are likely to reference has_cap() or some line in functions.php, to what’s actually going on. The Debug Bar plugin is also nice. It … Read more
@Wyck was right, ( well sorta 😛 ) you can set error logs but 1) You need to enable debugging 2) ini_set(‘log_errors’, 1); or 0 for false 3) You need to set a log location via ini_set(‘error_log, $location) Once you have that set you can then if need be test if said file exists via … Read more
I use a plugin for this issue. Even if debug is set to false, it still prints error to the screen in red. It is easy and fast to create the plugin. In your plugins folder in your wordpress install, create a new file and call it anything you like, for instance, debugger-plugin.php. Open up … Read more
On WP side the only handling it does is setting log to WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/debug.log’ if WP_DEBUG_LOG is enabled (highly bad idea in production environment as public location). If I remember right the very early implementations of this constant allowed to customize the path, but that’s no longer the case. In my experience ini_set( ‘log_errors’, … Read more
After disabling all plugins I was able to narrow down which one was affecting the log output. The client had installed Speed of Light plugin to provide caching and compression which was also effecting wp_debug capabilities.
You can simply use var_dump() to do this. That is how I check values inside functions and filters. I have the following line of code in a file which I simply copy and paste where needed to dump the value of a variable ?><pre><?php var_dump( $variable_to_test ); ?></pre><?php The pre tags dump a nice readable … Read more
Turn off WP_DEBUG because it overwrite your ini_set.
You can do this by adding some code to wp-config.php $request_uri = $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’]; $debug_dirs = array (‘/debug-dir1/’,’/debug-dir2/’); // list of directories to turn on debugging foreach ($debug_dirs as $debug_dir) { if (!strncmp($request_uri,$debug_dir,strlen($debug_dir))) { define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); } } define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false); // debug off by default
In wp-config.php: if ( defined( ‘DOING_AJAX’ ) && DOING_AJAX ) define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false ); else define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
