Ferret is a simple wrapper for the Sentry PHP and JavaScript SDKs. It will catch all PHP errors, as well as JavaScript errors if the option is switched on. It utilizes the legacy PHP library by Sentry intentionally, in an effort to maximize compatibility. The newest SDK requires PHP^7.1 whereas the legacy requires minimum of 5.6
There are four settings that you can adjust.
<ul>
<li>The <code>DSN</code> – Your DSN key, this is required</li>
<li><code>Project ID</code> – The project key, this is also required</li>
<li><code>Enable JavaScript Logging</code> – Enable logging of JavaScript errors</li>
<li><code>Ignore WP Core Errors</code> – Prevent sending events to Sentry that originate from WordPress core (wp-admin, wp-includes)</li>
<li><code>Debug Environment</code> – Switch the Sentry environment to <code>Debug</code>, turning this off puts the environment to <code>Production</code></li>
</ul>
All three are accessible on the plugin settings page located in the <code>Settings -> Ferret Settings</code> page.
In the future we will add the ability to selectively ignore specific themes or plugins in a convenient way. We would also like to expose an internal API that can be used by other plugins/themes to capture errors or add context.

The Fatal Plugin Auto Deactivator plugin is a powerful tool designed to enhance the stability and reliability of your WordPress website. It automatically detects and deactivates plugins that cause fatal errors, preventing your entire site from crashing and becoming inaccessible.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Automatic Error Detection: Monitors for fatal PHP errors in real-time using WordPress drop-in technology</li>
<li>Smart Plugin Identification: Identifies which plugin is causing the fatal error through stack trace analysis</li>
<li>Instant Deactivation: Automatically deactivates the problematic plugin during the shutdown phase</li>
<li>Detailed Admin Notifications: Provides clear notifications about which plugin was deactivated and why</li>
<li>Persistent Error Logging: Records detailed information about errors in a permanent log for troubleshooting</li>
<li>Error Log Management Page: Dedicated admin page to view, manage, and clear error logs with detailed history</li>
<li>Zero Configuration: Works right out of the box with no setup required</li>
<li>Custom Error Page: Displays a user-friendly error page with a reload button instead of the white screen of death</li>
<li>Debug-Aware Display: Shows detailed error information only when WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY is enabled for security</li>
<li>Drop-in Management: Automatically installs and manages WordPress fatal-error-handler.php drop-in</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
This plugin uses WordPress’s built-in drop-in system to provide the most reliable error handling possible. When activated, it:
<ol>
<li>Installs a Drop-in: Creates a <code>fatal-error-handler.php</code> file in your wp-content directory</li>
<li>Monitors for Errors: WordPress automatically uses this drop-in when fatal errors occur</li>
<li>Captures Error Details: Records the error message, file, and line number during the shutdown phase</li>
<li>Identifies the Plugin: Analyzes the error stack trace to determine which plugin caused the issue</li>
<li>Deactivates Safely: Automatically deactivates only the problematic plugin</li>
<li>Logs Everything: Stores detailed error information in a permanent log for troubleshooting</li>
<li>Notifies Admins: Displays clear admin notices with error details when you next log in</li>
<li>Shows User-Friendly Pages: Displays a custom error page with reload button instead of the white screen of death</li>
</ol>
The drop-in approach ensures maximum reliability since it operates at the WordPress core level, even when other plugins fail.
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Development Environments: Test new plugins without worrying about site crashes</li>
<li>Production Sites: Add an extra layer of protection against unexpected plugin conflicts</li>
<li>Managed WordPress: Essential tool for agencies and freelancers managing multiple client sites</li>
<li>WooCommerce Stores: Prevent revenue loss from site downtime due to plugin errors</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why You Need This Plugin</h3>
WordPress fatal errors can make your entire site inaccessible, requiring FTP or hosting panel access to fix. With Fatal Plugin Auto Deactivator, your site remains operational even when a plugin causes a critical error, giving you time to address the issue without emergency measures.

While testing multiple third-party addons on my site, I activated all the plugins at once to speed things up but it caused a fatal error, and I couldn’t figure out which plugin was responsible.
