Debug Log only works if it’s enabled in wp-config.php. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#WP_DEBUG_LOG
Recommended configuration:
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );// just toggle this line to false to turn off
if ( WP_DEBUG ) {
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
