Run WordPress in debug mode without access to wp-config

January 9, 2020

This post brought to you by RocketGeek, ButlerBlog, and the following:

 

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'my_enable_debug_mode' );
function my_enable_debug_mode() {

    // Turn on error reporting.
    error_reporting( E_ALL );

    // This will display errors on screen. Use 0 to turn off.
    ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

    // This will log errors. Use 0 (or omit) to not log errors.
    ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );

    // Sets a log file path you can access in the theme editor.
    $log_path = get_template_directory() . '/debug.txt';
    ini_set( 'error_log', $log_path );

}
