<p>Debug Log Manager allows you to:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enable <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/" rel="ugc">WP_DEBUG</a> with one click to log PHP, database and JavaScript errors</strong> when you need to, and disable it when you’re done. No need to manually edit wp-config.php file. </li>
<li><strong>Create the debug.log file for you</strong> in a non-default location with a custom file name for enhanced security. </li>
<li><strong>Copy the content of the default / existing debug.log file</strong> into the custom debug.log file, and delete the default / existing debug.log file. So there is continuation in logging and enhanced security going forward.</li>
<li>Parse the debug.log file and <strong>view distinct errors and when they last occurred</strong>, which is better than looking at the raw log file (potentially) full of repetitive errors. </li>
<li><strong>Quickly find and filter more specific errors</strong> for your debugging work.</li>
<li><strong>Make error details easier to read</strong> by identifying error source (core / plugin / theme) and separating file path and line number.</li>
<li><strong>Easily view files where PHP errors occurred</strong>. This includes WordPress core, plugin and theme files.</li>
<li><strong>Enable auto-refresh</strong> to automatically load new log entries. No need to manually reload the browser tab, or to <code>tail -f</code> the log file on the command line.</li>
<li><strong>Easily clear the debug.log file</strong> to save disk space and more easily observe newly occurring errors on your site.</li>
<li><strong>Show an indicator on the admin bar</strong> when error logging is enabled.</li>
<li><strong>Add a dashboard widget</strong> showing the latest errors logged.</li>
<li><strong>Use <code>error_log()</code></strong> to output error info into your debug log. e.g. <code>error_log( $error_message )</code> for simple, string-based error message, or <code>error_log( json_encode( $error ) )</code> when inspecting a more complex error info, e.g. array or object.</li>
<li><strong>Auto-trim debug.log file size</strong> so it does not grow larger than the available memory. This prevents out-of-memory error when trying to parse and view the debug.log file.</li>
</ul>
<p>A simpler and more compact version of Debug Log Manager is included as part of the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/system-dashboard/" rel="ugc">System Dashboard plugin</a>, should you prefer a single plugin that does more.</p>

Debug Log Manager – Conveniently Monitor and Inspect Errors

A stitch in time saves nine.

This plugin is so important I have it as the #2 item in my admin menu (below only Dashboard). 

Proactively finding and fixing errors is essential to running a successful site.

This plugin does a simple job, and it does it very well. Some niceties are the JavaScript logging, and the counting of log occurrences. The UI is simple, but appropriate. The developer is responsive. 

I have used a couple of other logger plugins and this is by far the best one.

Must-have plugin


I wish I had found out about this plugin a long time ago. It saves time when debugging client sites.


Such a help

handy plugin


I've been switching from a custom Docker Compose environment to @wordpress/env (aka wp-env) which I still fail to figure out how to quickly tail the PHP debug logs. Is it even possible? They say it is, yet I only ever see the HTTP logs from the web server...



I've added this plugin to my .wp-env.json file so that I always have it available in my test environment now. I'm amazed the infamous Debug Bar plugin doesn't seem to have a way to see the tail of the PHP debug log file..?



My favorite part about this plugin is that repetitive log lines are grouped together in the display, with a note of the number of occurrences. Makes reading the logs much easier at quick glance!



The downside of this plugin is just by the nature that it's a plugin—if you're trying to debug PHP Fatal errors that happen early in execution, they won't be accessible since they would prevent this plugin from running. However, I didn't have a problem with this because I'd let the PHP Fatal happen and then just undo whatever I did to cause the fatal error. After that, I'd just go back to review the error in this plugin's page. Easy!


Makes Debugging in @wordpress/env Possible

Log PHP, database and JavaScript errors via WP_DEBUG with one click. Conveniently create, view, filter and clear the debug.log file.

<p>Skip page reloads and separate error screens when posting comments. Ajaxify Comments hooks into your native WordPress comment system and allows comment posting without a page reload. Lazy loading comments is also supported, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>TLDR</h3>
<p><a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/getting-started" rel="nofollow ugc">Getting Started</a> | <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/DLXPlugins" rel="nofollow ugc">Sponsor Us</a> | <a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/ajaxify-comments" rel="nofollow ugc">Ajaxify Home</a></p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments hooks into your theme and improves the usability of the comment form by validating and adding comments without the need of page reloads. Users can remain on the page and interact with new comments as they’re posted. This plugin also supports lazy loading of comments, which can help speed up your page load time.</p>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>When submitting the comment form, WordPress by default reloads the entire page. This can be a disorienting experience for the user. In the case of errors in the comment (invalid email, duplicate comment, empty comment), these often require a separate error screen and the user has to use the back button to edit their comment. This can be a frustrating experience for the user. Adding to that, comments can be resource intensive, and can slow down your page load time.</p>
<p>With Ajaxify Comments, comments are posted without a page reload. If there are errors, the error message is shown immediately, so the user can correct their comment.</p>
<p>Ajaxify Comments also comes with lazy loading of the comments section. For a page with a lot of comments, this can speed things up considerably. You can load comments when the DOM is ready or when the comment section is scrolled into view.</p>
<p>Moreover this plugin includes an option to automatically refresh the comments on the current page while the user stays on your page without requiring a page reload. This can be helpful in busy comment sections where reply response time is important.</p>

<h3>Requirements and Compatibility</h3>
<p>Please use the native WordPress comment system with Ajaxify Comments.</p>
<p>The plugin has integrations with:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/confetti/" rel="ugc">Confetti</a> – Show confetti when a comment is posted.</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-comment-editing/" rel="ugc">Comment Edit Core</a> – Allow users to edit their comments.</li>
<li><a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/comment-edit-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">Comment Edit Pro</a> – Add numerous utilities and automations to your comment section.</li>
</ol>
<p>The following themes are supported out of the box:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/astra/" rel="ugc">Astra</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/blocksy/" rel="ugc">Blocksy</a></li>

<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/themes/neve/" rel="ugc">Neve</a></li>
<li>Twenty Ten – Twenty Twenty Three</li>
</ol>
<p>Ajaxify Comments should be compatible with most block themes. If <a href="https://docs.dlxplugins.com/v/ajaxify-comments/first-time-users/menu-helper" rel="nofollow ugc">Menu Helper</a> can’t find the selectors, please leave a support request.</p>
<h3>Technical Note</h3>
<p>Since the plugin hooks into the theme on client-side to intercept the comment form submit process, and to add new comments without reloading the page, the plugin needs to access the DOM nodes using jQuery selectors. The plugin comes with default values for these selectors that were successfully tested with WordPress’ default themes “Twenty Ten”, “Twenty Eleven”, “Twenty Twelve”, “Twenty Thirteen”, “Twenty Fourteen”, “Twenty Fifteen”, “Twenty Sixteen”. If required, the selectors can be customized to match your theme in the plugin’s settings.</p>

Ajaxify Comments – Ajax and Lazy Loading Comments

This has always been a great plugin. It always worked just fine, even if weweave (the previous owners) stopped maintaining and developing it.

Since DLX plugins took over, it got even better

There’s been a lot of admin UI improvements, and Ronald has showed to be incredibly responsive to implement small additional features that can make life easier.

Sent him a feature request, and was incredibly glad to see that he also judged that it was a useful thing to implement. It took him less than 48h to push it live!

Just excellent

Ajaxify Comments speeds up your comment section, allowing for lazy loading comments, instant comment posting, and seamless success and error messages.
