How to enable WordPress Debug Mode on your Managed WordPress website

You will need to enable WordPress Debug Mode if you require WordPress error messages to be logged. This can be done via the WordPress Debug Mode tool in the Managed WordPress dashboard.

Steps

  • 1
    Log in to the xneelo Control Panel.
  • 2
    Under Products in the side menu, select Managed WordPress.
  • 3
    Click on your website name.
  • 4
    Under WordPress, select Configure WordPress.
  • 5
    The WordPress Debug Mode slider is set to Off by default. Slide to On.
  • 6
    The Debug Log slider is set to Off by default. Slide to On.
  • 7
    You can edit the name of the Debug Log file and copy the URL required to access it.
  • 8
    Click Save.

What happens next

After you enable WordPress Debug Mode, you will be presented with a forbidden error when accessing the debug log file, until the first log entry has been captured within the file. When you no longer require the log file, disable WordPress Debug Mode as the log file can grow at a rapid rate and will consume available disk space.

Assist Note

WordPress Debug Mode should be enabled for a set period of time and only while you are investigating an issue on your site. Left unattended, the log file can grow exponentially resulting in potential disk over-usage charges.
