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 );

<li>Search Terms: <code>woocommerce, wc-</code></li>
</ul>

<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>
