<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>To use this plugin effectively, you need to enable WordPress debug logging by adding these constants to your <code>wp-config.php</code> file:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
</code></pre>
<h3>Testing the Plugin</h3>
<p>To verify Lumiblog Debug Log Inspector is working correctly, follow these steps:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1: Enable Debug Logging</strong></p>
<p>Add to your <code>wp-config.php</code>:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Step 2: Add a Plugin to Monitor</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Go to Settings > Log Inspector</li>
<li>Click “Add New Plugin to Monitor”</li>
<li>Fill in the form with a plugin you have installed (e.g., WooCommerce)
<ul>
<li>Plugin Name: <code>WooCommerce</code></li>
<li>Plugin File Path: <code>woocommerce/woocommerce.php</code></li>
<li>Search Terms: <code>woocommerce, wc-</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Click “Add Plugin”</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Step 3: Generate a Test Error</strong></p>
<p>Note: Ensure that the test site is running on PHP 8.4+</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Add this code snippet inside of any active plugin’s main file:</p>
<p>/**</p>
<ul>
<li>DEBUG LOG INSPECTOR DEMO – PHP 8.4 Warning Trigger</li>
<li>REMOVE AFTER DEMO/TESTING!<br />
*/<br />
add_action( ‘load-index.php’, function() {<br />
if ( version_compare( PHP_VERSION, ‘8.4.0’, ‘>=’ ) ) {<br />
    $test_array = array( ‘name’ => ‘Debug Log Inspector’ );<br />
    $undefined_value = $test_array[’email’]; // Triggers warning<br />
    error_log( ‘[DLI-DEMO-PHP84] PHP 8.4 warning triggered!’ );<br />
}<br />
});</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Reload the site’s admin dashboard to trigger the error</p>
</li>
<li>Check your admin bar – it should turn RED</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Step 4: View the Debug Log (Optional)</strong></p>
<p>Navigate to <code>wp-content/debug.log</code> to see the actual error entries that were logged.</p>
<p><strong>Clean Up:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Remove the test code you added</li>
<li>Either delete <code>wp-content/debug.log</code> or clear its contents</li>
<li>The admin bar should return to GREEN</li>
</ol>
<h3>Additional Information</h3>

<p>WPPulse is an error tracking and site health monitoring service built specifically for WordPress agencies and freelancers managing multiple client sites.</p>
<p>Install this plugin on each site you manage. It reports errors, plugin changes, security events, and more to your <a href="https://wp-pulse.app" rel="nofollow ugc">WPPulse dashboard</a> — giving you a single overview of every site’s health.</p>
<h4>What it monitors</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>PHP errors & exceptions</strong> — Fatal errors, uncaught exceptions, and user errors with full stack traces</li>
<li><strong>Plugin changes</strong> — Activations, deactivations, installs, updates, and pending updates</li>
<li><strong>WordPress core updates</strong> — Get alerted when a new WordPress version is available</li>
<li><strong>Security events</strong> — Admin user creation, deletion, and role changes</li>
<li><strong>Database errors</strong> — Query failures with sanitised error details</li>
<li><strong>REST API errors</strong> — 4xx and 5xx responses on WordPress REST endpoints</li>
<li><strong>Cron job failures</strong> — Detect overdue or silently failing scheduled tasks</li>
<li><strong>Server resources</strong> — Disk space and memory usage warnings</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why WPPulse?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Multi-site dashboard</strong> — See all your client sites at a glance with status indicators</li>
<li><strong>Smart alerts</strong> — Digest-based notifications so you don’t get spammed</li>
<li><strong>4 notification channels</strong> — Email, Telegram, Discord, and Slack</li>
<li><strong>WordPress-native</strong> — Purpose-built for WordPress, not a generic error tracker</li>
<li><strong>Privacy first</strong> — Sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII) is automatically filtered before anything leaves your site</li>
<li><strong>EU-hosted & GDPR-compliant</strong> — Servers in Bucharest, Romania. No data leaves the EU.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight</strong> — No frontend JavaScript, no database tables, no impact on your visitors</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Sign up at <a href="https://wp-pulse.app" rel="nofollow ugc">wp-pulse.app</a> and add your site</li>
<li>Install this plugin and enter the API key from your dashboard</li>
<li>That’s it — errors and events start flowing to your dashboard immediately</li>
</ol>
<p>The plugin runs silently in the background. If the connection to WPPulse is temporarily unavailable, events are queued locally and sent automatically when the connection is restored.</p>
<h4>Built for agencies</h4>
<p>If you manage 10, 50, or 100 client sites, WPPulse gives you one place to see which sites have errors, which have pending updates, and which need attention — before your clients call you.</p>
<h4>External Service</h4>
<p>This plugin requires a <a href="https://wp-pulse.app" rel="nofollow ugc">WPPulse</a> account and sends data to the WPPulse API hosted at <code>wp-pulse.app</code>. <strong>No data is transmitted until you configure the plugin with your API key.</strong> The plugin does not contact any external server until you explicitly connect it.</p>
<p><strong>Data transmitted to WPPulse:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>PHP error details: error class, message, file path (relative, server root stripped), line number, stack trace</li>
<li>Plugin events: activation, deactivation, install, update, pending updates</li>
<li>Security events: admin user creation, deletion, role changes (user ID and role only — no names or emails)</li>
<li>Database errors: sanitised error message and query (all literal values replaced with placeholders)</li>
<li>REST API errors: route, method, status code</li>
<li>Cron failures: hook name and schedule</li>
<li>Resource warnings: disk space and memory usage percentages</li>
<li>Environment: PHP version, WordPress version, active theme name, multisite status, OS name, plugin version</li>
<li>Request context (on errors only): HTTP method, URL path (no query string), filtered headers, filtered POST/GET fields, user agent, IP address</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Sensitive data filtering:</strong> Passwords, tokens, API keys, emails, names, addresses, credit card fields, and 34+ other sensitive field types are automatically replaced with <code>[Filtered]</code> before transmission. You can add custom fields on the settings page.</p>
