Howto get Debug running

  • I am having a problem getting the debug mode operational.
    Entered the next at the bottom of the wp-config.php
    /* start debug settings in wp-config.php */
    @ini_set(‘display_errors’,0);
    @ini_set(‘log_errors’,1);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); // Turn debugging ON
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’,false); // Turn forced display OFF
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true); // Turn logging to wp-content/debug.log ON
    /* end debug settings */

    but the debug.log file is not created.

    What could be wrong?
    Thanks for yr support, Cees

  • Where are you expecting the file to be?

    It should be in the wp-content directory (since we can generally assume that folder has write permissions – needed for uploads).

    See Nacins blog here.

    Thanks Mark for yr reply. Although very interesting links it did not helped me solving the issue.
    I do expect the debug.log file to be created in the wp_content directory. The folder has write permission, but for an unknown reason the file is still not created.
    I am puzzled.

    Seems to be working just fine for me…. ??

    Of course there needs to be errors occuring for the log to be created / updated..

    I changed the callback function name in an add_action for testing, eg..

    add_action('some_action','some_non_existant_function');

    Which produced a warning (i leave error display on), and the appropriate debug.log file was created, and note, i also tested with display errors set to false (to see if there was any difference, there wasn’t – the file was created in both instances).
