Custom Logs is a powerful and user-friendly plugin designed to help WordPress developers and administrators manage debug logs efficiently. With a modern interface, it offers complete control over custom and WP_DEBUG logs, including custom directories, log levels, and real-time AJAX filtering.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Custom Log Management: Define custom log file names and directories within the uploads folder.</li>
<li>WP_DEBUG Integration: Capture and redirect WP_DEBUG logs to a custom file.</li>
<li>Log Levels: Filter logs by severity (None, All, Errors, Warnings, Notices).</li>
<li>AJAX-Powered Log Viewer: Dynamically filter log entries by file and type without page reloads.</li>
<li>Backup and Clear Logs: Easily back up or clear logs with a single click.</li>
<li>Download Logs: Download custom or WP_DEBUG logs directly from the admin panel.</li>
<li>Sleek UI: A modern, responsive design with uniform input heights for a polished experience.</li>
</ul>
This is the initial release (v1.0), providing a robust foundation for log management with advanced features like AJAX filtering built-in from the start.
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>Enable Logging: Turn on custom logging and set a log level under “Custom Logging”.</li>
<li>Set Log Files: Specify custom log file names and directories under “General” and “WP Debug Logging”.</li>
<li>View Logs: Use the Log Viewer to select a log file and filter by type (e.g., Errors, Info) with real-time AJAX updates.</li>
<li>Manage Logs: Test, clear, back up, or delete logs from the “Management” section.</li>
<li>Download Logs: Use the “Downloads” section to save logs locally.</li>

 `php 
customdebug_log(“This is a test message”, “info”);
