    IS it possible to disable these info messages filling up the debug.log file?

    Hi,

    Apologies for the delay.

    Let me check with our developers if possible.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    These extra messages are logged because you have the WP_DEBUG debugging constant turned on. If you turn it off, they will not be logged.

    Hi David, thanks for the reply. I have WP_DEBUG turned on because it’s useful for a lot of reasons:
    – I use error_log() for debugging.
    – I get notices about deprecated functions/hooks…
    – I get notices about database errors

    The extra messages are logged because I have WP_DEBUG turned on AND the plugin code uses error_log() to output them. My understanding is that error_log() should be reserved for reporting errors or unusual behavior, not regular info messages. You may disagree.

    I think it would be better if these informative messages were output only if a plugin specific variable is turned on. At least that’s my 2 cents ??
