<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>

<p><strong>Debugging WordPress shouldn’t be painful.</strong></p>
<p>Most developers deal with debug logs the hard way: SSH into the server, <code>tail -f debug.log</code>, squint at wall-of-text output, scroll endlessly to find the one error that matters. It’s slow, it’s fragile, and it pulls you out of your flow.</p>
<p><strong>LogIQ fixes that.</strong></p>
<p>LogIQ is an intelligent debug log viewer built for WordPress developers. It lives in your admin dashboard, parses your log file automatically, and surfaces exactly what you need — with search, filters, collapsible stack traces, and one-click editor access. No config files. No terminal. No wasted time.</p>
<h4>What Makes LogIQ Different</h4>
<p>Most log plugins just dump raw text into a <code><textarea></code>. LogIQ actually understands your logs.</p>
<ul>
<li>Categorizes every entry by level (Fatal, Error, Warning, Notice, Deprecated, Info, Debug, DB Error)</li>
<li>Detects duplicate/repeated errors and groups them with a count badge</li>
<li>Collapses multi-line stack traces so your screen isn’t buried in noise</li>
<li>Highlights your search term inline across all matching entries</li>
<li>Shows relative timestamps (“3 minutes ago”) with the full timestamp on hover</li>
<li>Lets you copy any entry to clipboard in one click</li>
<li>Opens the exact file and line in VS Code, PhpStorm, or Sublime Text — no copy-pasting paths</li>
</ul>
<h4>Core Features</h4>
<p><strong>Smart Log Parsing</strong><br />
Automatically detects PHP Fatal errors, Warnings, Notices, Deprecated calls, Database errors, and custom <code>error_log()</code> output. No setup required.</p>
<p><strong>Full-Text Search</strong><br />
Search across message content, file paths, and timestamps instantly. Matches are highlighted in-place with a count of results.</p>
<p><strong>Level Filters</strong><br />
Filter by Fatal, Error, Warning, Notice, Deprecated, Info, Debug, or DB Error with a single click. Counts update live with each filter.</p>
<p><strong>Collapsible Stack Traces</strong><br />
Long stack traces are collapsed by default. Expand only the ones you care about — keeping your view clean and focused.</p>
<p><strong>Duplicate Detection</strong><br />
Consecutive identical log entries are automatically grouped into a single entry with a <code>×N</code> badge. Stop scrolling past 200 copies of the same warning.</p>
<p><strong>Relative Timestamps</strong><br />
Log timestamps show as “2 minutes ago”, “1 hour ago” etc. Hover to see the full timestamp. Great for spotting when errors started.</p>
<p><strong>Copy to Clipboard</strong><br />
One-click copy on every log entry. Paste directly into Slack, a bug report, or a support ticket.</p>
<p><strong>Log Export</strong><br />
Download your current filtered view as a <code>.log</code> file or structured <code>.json</code> — perfect for sharing with your team or attaching to issue trackers.</p>
<p><strong>Editor Integration</strong><br />
Click any file path in a log entry to jump directly to that file and line in:<br />
* Visual Studio Code<br />
* PhpStorm<br />
* Sublime Text<br />
* Falls back to <code>file://</code> if no supported editor is detected</p>
<p><strong>Auto-Refresh</strong><br />
The log viewer refreshes automatically every 30 seconds so you can watch logs update in real time without touching the page.</p>
<p><strong>Secure by Default</strong><br />
Only users with <code>manage_options</code> capability can access LogIQ. All AJAX requests are nonce-verified. Sensitive values (passwords, API keys, auth tokens) are masked automatically before display.</p>
<p><strong>Pagination</strong><br />
Handles large log files gracefully — reads up to 5 MB from the end of the file, paginates entries, and never loads more than needed.</p>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress plugin and theme developers</li>
<li>Agencies managing multiple client sites</li>
<li>Developers debugging WooCommerce, REST APIs, and third-party integrations</li>
<li>Anyone who’s tired of <code>tail -f debug.log</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>How to Use error_log() with LogIQ</h4>
<p>LogIQ reads from WordPress’s standard debug log. Write to it from anywhere in your code:</p>
<pre><code>error_log( 'Something happened' );
</code></pre>
<p>For arrays and objects:</p>
<pre><code>error_log( print_r( $my_array, true ) );
</code></pre>
<p>For exceptions:</p>
<pre><code>error_log( $exception->getMessage() . ' in ' . $exception->getFile() . ':' . $exception->getLine() );
</code></pre>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>LogIQ does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data outside of your own server. All log data remains local. The plugin does not make any external HTTP requests.</p>
