Paths to log files and backups ignored in favor of Default Location

  • For some reason, log files and backups are still being saved in the Default Location of logs and backups folders, respectively, in the ithemes-security folder in the uploads folder (or an alternate location set using define(‘UPLOADS’, …); in wp-config.php), even after alternate locations have been explicitly set for Path to Log Files and Backup Location.

  • Known issue. For backup location this is a duplicate of:

    Will look into the log files.

    In __construct() function of the core/class-itsec-logger.php file

    $itsec_globals[‘ithemes_log_dir’]

    is used for the log file location where it should be using:

    $itsec_globals[‘settings’][‘log_location’]

    So first create a backup copy of the core/class-itsec-logger.php file and then change the following line:

    $this->log_file = $itsec_globals['ithemes_log_dir'] . '/event-log-' . $itsec_globals['settings']['log_info'] . '.log';

    into:

    $this->log_file = $itsec_globals['settings']['log_location'] . '/event-log-' . $itsec_globals['settings']['log_info'] . '.log';

    Untested, so try this at your own risk.
