Breaks when install path changes

    I’m having the same issue Jesse (@jeswd) had here: Stops working when path to wordpress app changes

    In my case, the error was triggered when cloning a site in Local by Flywheel: the plugin keeps looking for the path that matches the site it was originally activated on.
    Deactivating or uninstalling doesn’t solve this.
    I also witnessed the same problem when migrating a local site to live, or staging site to production.

    I was able to locate and delete the relevant key in phpMyAdmin (debug_log_manager_file_path) and then dereactivated the plugin, which works, but obviously isn’t ideal.

    My proposed fix would be to re-determine the path each time the plugin is activated, just like it does on first activation.
    Unless I’m missing something, it seems like it could be a satisfactory fix, and wouldn’t require much work to be implemented?

    Totally agree.

    Add option to remove settings from database when uninstalling plugin so a re-install fixes it.
