[Support request] Cannot see errors when debug is activated

[Alessio Angeloro]

Hi Tom,

when I develope some plugins I need to debug it, but if I enable wp debug, display error, script error, I can’t see any error on page but only a blank page; this issue happen in original themes update or child theme.

Any idea ? Is not hosting problem, because WP write error in a log files but I cant’ see it.

Regards,
Alessio

Hi there,

I could be missing something here but this doesn’t sound like a GP problem to me.

Are there reasons that let you think it’s a GP problem?

Have you tried #1 or #4 here to test?

Hi Leo, sure i follow the guide, i’m a developer 🙂

If i change theme i see the error intead of blank page.

I’ve run into this before – it’s usually a server configuration issue when it comes to the error_log() function in PHP.

Have you checked if things are printing to the deblog.log file in the wp-content folder? I believe that’s WP_DEBUG_LOG – it’s my favorite debugging method in WP.

Yes the error are write in the file, but i prefer to see all error in my screen.

Any suggestion ?

Unfortunately I’m not an expert when it comes to server stuff.

If WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY is enabled, it should display on the page itself.
