I am trying to find the best way to monitor which PHP code/functions, MySQL requests and/or plugins are slowing down pages on a site. I know there are a bunch of different options out there including wordpress plugins and solutions involving firebug (firephp) but what do you guys feel is the best approach? Personally I … Read more
It’s the first I have seen this. In a project I’m working on, I tried to switch on the debug mode for wordpress to see logs. Even if I activate the debug_log in wp-config.php, debug.log file is never created in /htdocs/wp-content/ wp-config.php define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true); define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false); @ini_set(‘display_errors’,0); define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true); wp-content dir rights load.php … Read more
This is a cross post from the WordPress forums, which I apologize for, but it has been almost a week and not getting any response there so hoping someone here can help. If I do get a reply in either place I will update the post with a link to it. I am attempting to … Read more
In Visual Studio, you can easily debug your application by running Debug mode and setting breakpoints in your application. In WordPress, how would you achieve same thing? I have an issue in my website and there are no error or warnings thrown. I have spent enough time tweaking settings to figure this out without luck. … Read more
I was told to “get a stack trace” when an error occurs in my WordPress installation. How do I do this? This is meant to be an easy place to refer others to. Please list plugins, configuration settings, PHP modules… that can do this. Consider that the user might be on a shared host, might … Read more
When I use: define(‘WP_DEBUG’, 1); In my wp-config.php, it works fine, but I am hacking an old theme and I would like to suppress deprecated notices. My understanding is that adding this: error_reporting( E_ERROR | E_NOTICE | E_PARSE ) Should do the trick. I have added it to wp-config.php and to header.php in my theme. … Read more
I’ve taken over the maintainance of a large WP-MS powered site. The site has ~200 templates, many page specific, and with no standard naming procedure. It would save a lot of time if while surfing around the site I can see the template names which make up the current page. Is this possible? I’ve looked … Read more
I’m developing a Custom Post Type plugin, which works fine in dev. Now that I’ve moved it to production, I’m getting a 404 when I try to display the template for the CPT. So, two questions: 1- Is there some mechanism to determine the path WP took to get through the hierarchy? 2- Why wouldn’t … Read more
I run a WordPress site with about 70 active plugins. Every so often, I’ll get a random error page (“Not Found”, though I haven’t checked the headers to see if it’s a 404) on a /wp-admin/ page that pops up out of nowhere. Simply trying again resolves the error, however it’s quite inconvenient if the … Read more
I am trying to debug a plugin and am using error_log() in various places to see what various things are. I am using the following: error_log( print_r( $variable ) ); When I look at debug.log, all I see is 1 and the actual output of the error_log() function is sent to the browser instead. I … Read more
