<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>

<h4>Admin Bar Widget</h4>
<p>The admin bar widget gives you real-time visible information such as debug log mode and error count wherever you are in wp-admin. You will always know when there are errors and can access the log viewer with one click for more details.</p>
<h4>Toggle Debugging</h4>
<p>Now you can enable / disable debugging with one click. It is no longer necessary to manually edit wp-config.php. Head over to the help section, follow the simple instructions to enable this feature, and you’re good to go.</p>
<h4>Always keep an eye on the size of the debug.log file</h4>
<p>With this feature your debug.log file will never be larger than you want.</p>
<h4>Smart Download</h4>
<p>When you click to download debug.log, a version of the smart log will be downloaded. What is a smart register? It is a version of debug.log similar to the group view. Only the last unique entry for each error will be included. The exported file will be in html format and can be opened directly in the browser for quick reading, or in your favorite text editor.</p>
<p>This makes it much easier to parse the file, look for errors, and skip all redundancy due to the many possible occurrences of the same error.</p>
<h4>One Click Error Filtering</h4>
<p>You can filter errors with a single click on the error legend. Click on multiple error types to filter for multiple error types. Click a second time to deselect an error type. This feature works great even with custom errors.</p>
<h4>Clear Log</h4>
<p>Easily clear your debug.log file with one click.</p>
<h4>Group View</h4>
<p>Log entries are grouped, making it much easier to see each unique error. You can click to list the date and time when the error occurred. Grouped items can be sorted by newest or latest.</p>
<h4>List View</h4>
<p>All log entries are listed by date and time and can be sorted by newest or latest.</p>
<h4>Sort By Date</h4>
<p>Log entries can be sorted by date by newest or latest in either list or group views.</p>
<h4>Automatic Refresh</h4>
<p>Log automatically refreshes to display new errors.  No need to manually refresh the screen. However, there is a link to manually refresh if desired.</p>
<h4>Realtime Search</h4>
<p>Quickly search and find specific errors.</p>
<h4>Custom Errors</h4>
<p>Now you can easily define custom error messages.  When that error occures in your log file it can have it’s own color coding, count and label.  Testing for custom errors or issues is now much easier.</p>
<h4>Error Color Legend</h4>
<p>Errors are color coded to make it easier to identify certain errors such as fatal, notices, warnings, deprecated and database.</p>
<h4>Debug Status</h4>
<p>Debugging status is located at the top of the viewer and admin bar to make it easy to see if debugging is enabled or disabled.</p>
<p>You can also see log size and last modified timestamp. This information automatically updates when changed.</p>
<h4>Dashboard Widget</h4>
<p>This widget gives you a quick summary regarding how many and what type of errors are in the log view. You can also access the log viewer with just one click.</p>
<h4>Persistent Settings</h4>
<p>Customize your log viewer to your heart’s content. Your settings such as view, sort order, sidebar folding and more persist accross logins. When you login as your user, log viewer will be just like you left it.</p>


KolorWeb Log Manager: cleaver debugging management

Very useful to manage PHP warnings.

I love the ability to have all notifications at a glance in the dashboard.

If you are a developer many times you do not notice some errors because you do not always go to check the debug.log file With KolorWeb Log Manager you have everything under control.

I really love it. Kudos to the developer of this amazing plugin.

A pearl gem for having PHP warnings under control


incredibly useful, easy to use and honestly beautiful. Just tested this but I think I'm going to use it on multiple websites. Kudos to the dev.


The plugin you don't know YOU NEED

Really one click enable/disable debugging, clear debug.log, search, sort, and filter errors. See new errors automatically without refreshing.
