    Thanks for this plugin, it’s shaping up to be one of the best in it’s class.

    I’d like the ability to specify the location of the error_log file. In this hosting setup it’s outside the website root and not called “error_log” (it happens to be “error.log”). In a quick read of the code it looks like the exact name ‘error_log’ is all that’s searched for. A simple text field for me to tell you it’s /logs/error.log would be handy.

    Thanks…

    @jnorell,
    Thanks for the comment and suggestion.

    We will introduce a text field where the user can enter the log file name of their choice which the plugin can then search for and display the contents. This feature should be available in the next or subsequent release.

    At this stage we won’t be applying any type of searching outside of the root directory of the wordpress installation.

    Thanks! Another thought that might be useful is to ini_get(‘error_log’) and see if it’s set to a file (not ‘syslog’), and if so also include that. That would catch messages from debug.log for folks using WP_DEBUG.

    And on a semi-related note, once you have the logic figured out to determine the location of various log files, you could add an option to block HTTP access to those same files via .htaccess. Just a thought…
