# Breaks when install path changes

 * I’m having the same issue Jesse (@jeswd) had [here: Stops working when path to wordpress app changes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stops-working-when-path-to-wordpress-app-changes/)
 * In my case, the error was triggered when cloning a site in Local by Flywheel:
   the plugin keeps looking for the path that matches the site it was originally
   activated on. 
   Deactivating or uninstalling doesn’t solve this. I also witnessed
   the same problem when migrating a local site to live, or staging site to production.
 * I was able to locate and delete the relevant key in phpMyAdmin (`debug_log_manager_file_path`)
   and then dereactivated the plugin, which works, but obviously isn’t ideal.
 * My proposed fix would be to re-determine the path each time the plugin is activated,
   just like it does on first activation. 
   Unless I’m missing something, it seems
   like it could be a satisfactory fix, and wouldn’t require much work to be implemented?

 * Totally agree.
 * Add option to remove settings from database when uninstalling plugin so a re-
   install fixes it.

   v2.3.2 is just released with a way to handle changes in WP installation path.
   Please test it out the next chance you get. Thanks!
