Good enough
Pretty good but why did you make it a widget ? It’s very unpractical
need to update for wordpress 6.7
unable to find the admin list of the php error. quite confusing where to locate this. not sure if this related to the wordpress latest version
Extracts valuable information from the morass of log messages
With powerful options like ignore or fixed to filter messages one can focus on what needs attention. The PRO version summary is very helpful. A suggested enhancement to make the monitor more reada
