WordPress has built-in settings that help you debug your website. These options are usually intended for use by developers only, and the debug log output should not visible to website visitors.
Note: This is an advanced tutorial. You will be editing a core WordPress file. Please make a back-up of the file before editing it, so you can restore a clean copy if you make a mistake.
What You’ll Need:
- Access to your wp-config.php file (use FTP or your web host’s Control Panel’s File Manager to find it)
How To Do It:
- Always make a back up of your site/the file you’re editing before engaging in the next steps
- Locate your wp-config.php file. It’s in the main directory for your site.
- Find the line that mentions “WP_DEBUG”. If it’s currently true, change it to false. If it’s not in the file at all, add it in:
define('WP_DEBUG', false);- We also recommend adding these lines right below it:
ini_set('display_errors','Off');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);- Save the file
