Overview
Debug Log Manager allows you to:
- Enable WP_DEBUG with one click to log PHP, database and JavaScript errors when you need to, and disable it when you’re done. No need to manually edit wp-config.php file.
- Create the debug.log file for you in a non-default location with a custom file name for enhanced security.
- Copy the content of the default / existing debug.log file into the custom debug.log file, and delete the default / existing debug.log file. So there is continuation in logging and enhanced security going forward.
- Parse the debug.log file and view distinct errors and when they last occurred, which is better than looking at the raw log file (potentially) full of repetitive errors.

best one I have used

This is really cool plugin and developer is very fast
Essential feature for any web site

Great plugin. There are probably some more features that would be good additions but it’s already something that I install on every site.
Much needed plugin, responsive developer
by Michael Kupietz·6 months ago
I’d like to see some additional features, and will be making feature requests, but it already deserves five stars anyway, for two reasons: First, it already adds much-needed, very convenient functionality that should have been in WP by default. I’ll be keeping this in my arsenal. Second, the developer was extremely responsive, when I reported some problems in the support forum, he was very quickly active in responding, discussing, and working on them.
Love this plugin!

It is so easy to debug with this plugin. Turn on and off whenever you want, find specific errors and have a clear overview. Also I like the feature not to have the usual debug location so it makes it harder for bots to find it.
Also I had a request and it was solved within only one day! AWESOME WORK! Thank you so much!
Very useful
