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 );
I don’t know how to move the notices to the bottom or if that’s possible at all. To disable the debug mode in wp-admin write in wp-config.php: define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, FALSE === strpos( $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘/wp-admin/’ ) ); Untested: You could try to enable warnings in admin with: // happens early in wp-admin/admin.php add_filter( ‘secure_auth_redirect’, ‘wpse_67728_error_warnings’ ); … Read more
There are multiple tools and possibilities, and shure it would be nice to have something quick at hand. I know plugin authors who do offer debug flags so you can analyze what’s going on quite easy. As for plugins, I have not tested it but looked at some screenshots and it is at least informative: … Read more
I found the problem. In the Apache server, inside the php.ini, the variable… track_errors = Off To get this information, you can do in a phpfile phpinfo();. So, to write the debug log file, you need to set track_errors as ‘On’.
As mmm stated: in which file appears the first notice? Wherever the notice is mentioning the location of this deprecated function (path/to/some/file.php), you would insert the following just below the <?php tag which starts off the file: error_reporting(0); I’ve tried the above functions you mentioned and inserted them in my wp-config.php when I experience something … Read more
WordPress logic forces WP_DEBUG to be defined to something, even if it’s omitted it will be set to false in wp_initial_constants() during load. However “background” (that is not when it is checked explicitly) function of WP_DEBUG is to be a flag for how PHP error reporting should be configured on runtime. That configuration is performed … Read more
PHP constants don’t have the leading $. Strictly, this isn’t WordPress, but since there isn’t a Core is_debug() function that I am aware of, what you want is: if (defined(‘WP_DEBUG’) && true === WP_DEBUG) { echo ‘d00d’; }
