How to Enable Debug mode in WordPress

To enable debugging on your WordPress site, please follow the steps below.

1) Locating the wp-config.php file

2) Editing the wp-config.php file
Once your site files are open, youโ€™ll need to open wp-config.php for editing. This will be located in the root folder of your site.

The wp-config file contains site-specific configuration settings, such as database information and, potentially, settings added by your hosting provider. For debugging, youโ€™ll need to find this line of code (will generally be near bottom of file):

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

3) Adding your debug code
Copy and paste this code snippet over the line of code mentioned in Step 2.

`// Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

// Disable display of errors and warnings
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );

// Use dev versions of core JS and CSS files (only needed if you are modifying these core files)
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );`
