If the log is long, the latest lines are show at the top to avoid scrolling. Line numbers are shown for reference.
Logs over 5MB do not load until you confirm you are sure, or you can opt to delete the log and start afresh.
Only admins can view (or anyone you give the capability “manage_options”).
Debug Log only works if it’s enabled in wp-config.php. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#WP_DEBUG_LOG
Recommended configuration:
<pre><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );// just toggle this line to false to turn off
if ( WP_DEBUG ) {
 define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
 define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
 @ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
}
</code></pre>

Debug Log

View and Delete the debug log from the Tools menu.  Extremely light and simple.

This plugin sends you an email notification whenever a fatal error (or other error level, configurably) is detected on your site.
Unlike traditional uptime monitoring services, which will only notify you if your entire site is down, this plugin can notify you when an error is detected on any page or process on your site.
Automatic plugin and theme updates often introduce problems that you aren’t aware of until they’re reported by your visitors. Fatal Error Notify lets you address these issues as they occur and before they cause significant problems.

Fatal Error Notify

Great plugin

Thiss plugin is useful but won´t work on certain installs, although this could easily be fixed with some enhancements.

useful plugin but could be improved

I used Fatal Error Notify on a site that kept crashing and I couldn't find out what was going wrong.  The plugin emails the PHP error message and that helped me track down the issue. 

Can be a real lifesaver

Just came here to say that this is an amazing plugin and it's extremely helpful during troubleshooting.

keep up the good work!

Extremely helpful plugin

just discovered this little nugget and I'm very happy with it!

Awesome helper


Nothing bad to say at least up until now. 😃


Fast responses and does what it should.


Last version adds notifications for some EXIF problems. You cannot deactivate this if you don’t pay. Goodbye.


You need the Pro version
