Error Log Viewer Pro

Error Log Viewer Pro brings available PHP and WordPress error logs into the WordPress admin dashboard. Select a log, search its entries, and review recent lines, a selected period, or the full file. You can also view or save part of a PHP error log as a TXT file.

Enable error logging

Choose one of three methods in the extension settings: .htaccess, wp-config.php with ini_set, or wp-config.php with WP_DEBUG. The methods serve the same purpose, so enabling more than one may cause conflicts.

The .htaccess method requires access to that file. The ini_set method uses wp-config.php to set logging settings. The WP_DEBUG method uses WordPress debugging constants and writes to wp-content/debug.log; it does not let you change the log file's absolute path. Once those constants are declared, this method takes priority on WordPress websites and the other methods will not work.

Choose what the viewer shows

Select the log to display, then set the view to a chosen number of the latest lines, entries from a selected period, or the complete file. The monitor settings control which log appears and how much information is shown.

Set email notifications

Configure a recipient address and choose how often to receive notifications about log changes. Notifications use a scheduled WordPress event, which may not execute if the website has no activity during the selected interval.

Setup and access

Install and activate the plugin, open Error Log Viewer in the WordPress administration area, and choose a logging method. Then choose the log and display range; configure the recipient and notification frequency if needed. File and folder permissions can affect viewing, downloading, or clearing logs, so check access if one of those actions is unavailable. Documentation and setup videos are available, and Russian and Ukrainian translations are listed, though some translation content may be incomplete.
