WordPress provides a debug tool to help debug an error on a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling debug mode will display information on a live website which is visible to visitors. If you are debugging a live website, we recommend creating a debug log file instead of enabling debug mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable WordPress debug mode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
1. Go to File Manager for the website, or use SSH to open the wp-config.php file<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the file and add the following:-<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

   define('WP_DEBUG',true);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
   This will enable WordPress debug mode, to allow you to see a greater level of detail on any errors. It sets PHP errors to E_ALL which includes all errors, warnings, notices and deprecated errors, not all of which are necessarily relevant to a broken site but should be taken in context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
   To enable and view the WordPress debug log file:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
   This will enable the debug log file, and the default log file location will be public_html\/wp-content\/debug.log<\/strong> This will disable<\/strong> displaying the debug information on the front end. Edit the wp-config.php file and add the following lines to the end:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
   define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY',false);\ndefine('WP_DEBUG_LOG',true);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
