<li>Add any plugin you want to monitor by providing:
<ul>
<li>Plugin Name (e.g., “WooCommerce”)</li>

</ul>
</li>

<h4>Requirements</h4>
To use this plugin effectively, you need to enable WordPress debug logging by adding these constants to your <code>wp-config.php</code> file:
<pre><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
</code></pre>
<h3>Testing the Plugin</h3>
To verify Lumiblog Debug Log Inspector is working correctly, follow these steps:
Step 1: Enable Debug Logging
Add to your <code>wp-config.php</code>:
<pre><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
</code></pre>
Step 2: Add a Plugin to Monitor
<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>
Step 3: Generate a Test Error
Note: Ensure that the test site is running on PHP 8.4+
<ol>
<li>
Add this code snippet inside of any active plugin’s main file:
/**
<ul>
<li>DEBUG LOG INSPECTOR DEMO – PHP 8.4 Warning Trigger</li>
<li>REMOVE AFTER DEMO/TESTING! 
*/ 
add_action( ‘load-index.php’, function() { 
if ( version_compare( PHP_VERSION, ‘8.4.0’, ‘>=’ ) ) { 
 $test_array = array( ‘name’ => ‘Debug Log Inspector’ ); 
 $undefined_value = $test_array[’email’]; // Triggers warning 
 error_log( ‘[DLI-DEMO-PHP84] PHP 8.4 warning triggered!’ ); 
} 
});</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Reload the site’s admin dashboard to trigger the error
</li>
<li>Check your admin bar – it should turn RED</li>
</ol>
Step 4: View the Debug Log (Optional)
Navigate to <code>wp-content/debug.log</code> to see the actual error entries that were logged.
Clean Up:
<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>

For enhanced debugging, you can also add these optional constants to your <code>wp-config.php</code>:
<pre><code>define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false ); // Set to false on production sites
</code></pre>
