<h3>MSBD Logs is a WordPress plugin that allows developers to review and manage log files generated by plugins and themes.</h3>
<p><strong>MSBD Logs</strong> is a lightweight logging helper for WordPress plugin and theme developers.</p>
<p>It provides a simple PHP API to write log messages and an admin interface to view, filter, and manage log files stored in the WordPress uploads directory.</p>
<p>The plugin is designed to be minimal, dependency-free, and safe for use on production sites.</p>
<h3>🎉 Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Simple logging function for developers</li>
<li>Daily rotating log files</li>
<li>Separate log types: <code>debug</code> and <code>attention</code></li>
<li>Debug logging can be enabled or disabled from admin</li>
<li>Admin UI to view, and filter log files</li>
<li>Secure file handling (capability and nonce protected)</li>
<li>No database tables or external services</li>
<li>Translation-ready</li>
</ul>
<h3>Log Storage Location</h3>
<p>All log files are stored in: <code>wp-content/uploads/logs/</code>. <code>logs</code> folder is created in <code>wp-content/uploads/</code> on activating the plugin. An <code>index.html</code> file is automatically created to prevent directory browsing.</p>
<h3>Developer Usage</h3>
<p>Use the following helper function anywhere in your plugin or theme code:<br />
* <code>msbd_logs_create( 'Log something only when the debug mode is active' );</code><br />
* <code>msbd_logs_create( 'Unexpected issue detected, always log', 'attention' );</code><br />
* <code>debug</code> logs are written only when debug mode is enabled<br />
* <code>attention</code> logs are always written</p>
<h3>Admin Interface</h3>
<p>After activation, a new menu item <strong>“MSBD Logs”</strong> appears in the WordPress admin dashboard.</p>
<p>From this screen, administrators can:</p>
<ul>
<li>View available log files</li>
<li>Filter log files by filename</li>
<li>Inspect log file contents</li>
<li>Enable or disable debug logging</li>
</ul>
<p>Only users with the <code>manage_options</code> capability can access the interface.</p>
<h3>Standalone & Compatible</h3>
<p>MSBD Logs works fully as a standalone plugin.</p>
<p>If other MSBD-related plugins are installed in the future, menu grouping can be handled automatically without affecting functionality.</p>
