WP Output Log File

Description

Manage WordPress log files independently of WP_DEBUG mode.
You can specify the output directory and file name, download log files, and delete them as needed.

By specifying a date format in the file name, you can split logs daily or monthly.

Installation

Just install from your WordPress “Plugins > Add New” screen and all will be well. Manual installation is very straightforward as well:

  1. Upload the zip file and unzip it in the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to Settings > WP Output Log File and activate the options you want.

Example

You can write custom WordPress code, for example in your theme’s functions.php file.

if ( function_exists( ‘wo_log’ ) ) {
wo_log( “Your message” ); // string

wo_log( [‘a’ => 1, ‘b’ => 2, ‘c’ => 3 ] ); // other data types
}
