How to setup a PHP Error log for WordPress
February 6th, 2010 | by Phil (Frumph)



(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)There are a few hosts that do not give you an easy ability to see php errors that might happen. The first step is to edit your wp-config.php in your installation root directory.
Add these lines:
// Tell wordpress to enable error reporting
define('WP_DEBUG', 1);
// Do *not* display errors to the screen
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', 0);
// Tell wordpress to create a log file
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', 1);
// Tell wordpress we don't want the extra info
define('E_DEPRECATED', 1);
Next step is to tell WordPress to ‘avoid’ giving you all the damn notices you might be getting. Edit the wp-settings.php file that is in the root of the wordpress installation.
Search for:
if ( defined('E_DEPRECATED') )
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT);
and replace the error_reporting line with this:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE);
This will tell the debug.log to not record anything that’s deprecated strict or notices.
Once you do this, if any errors occur you will find in the wp-content directory a file called debug.log, then you can look at that log for what the error is and fix it. (or tell someone who can fix it).
/wp-content/debug.log

(No Ratings Yet)Originally ComicPress 2.9 was going to be 2.8.1 but wierdly enough I decided to throw a whole bunch of new features and code cleanup that warranted a serious revision adjustment.
At the end of Nov. 2009 Danny Burleson joined us in helping with revamps of various config sections. Welcome Danny! We’ll get you up to speed with adding features in no time.
Changes since 2.8

- WordPress 2.9 thumbnail code is implemented, have fun playing with that for each post!
- Metadata code in posts to allow posting of comics that are not localized.
- Overhall of all the Templates and including a new This Month of Comics template.
- Over 5 various different bug fixes from 2.8
- CSS was revamped to allow a variety of different head & foot’s and additional CSS able areas.
- .. and more revamps than John Bintz could write up on his white board.
Not quite an extensive a list that came around from 2.7 to 2.8 however the backend was heavily modified to the point where it’s not even close to the same code. (beware you modders out there).
