Navigate to the Security->Debug menu option. * Copy/paste the info displayed under the **Scheduler** section into this topic. * [jasonb4u2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonb4u2/) * (@jasonb4u2) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clears-logs/#post-10538228) * [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/), I tried yr code, does not make a menu item anywhere. If it did for hows about a screen snap of its location * Nothing extra here: [http://prntscr.com/kchxyi](http://prntscr.com/kchxyi) * So many people have asked this question yet iThemes keeps ignoring the fact we need a CLEAR LOGS button - This reply was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by [jasonb4u2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonb4u2/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by [jasonb4u2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasonb4u2/). * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clears-logs/#post-10538285) * Judging from the screenshot it looks like you are running the premium (Pro) plugin. * Make sure to be running the 5.3.0 or newer release of the Pro plugin. Preferably the latest release (5.4.1 at the time of writing this post). * Anything older than the 5.3.0 Pro (or 7.0.2 free) release does not include the Debug menu, no matter what you do. * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clears-logs/#post-10540746) * Hmm, there seems to be incorrect quotes in my first post of this topic. Copy/ paste from that post to your wp-config.php file will probably not work. So here is a new attempt to get it right: * `define('ITSEC_DEBUG', true);` - This reply was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/). * [xberg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xberg/) * (@xberg) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clears-logs/#post-10661970) * Completely agree that the clear log button should be there by default. I checked my database and the log table was taking 1 GB!!! This is insane. * [nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) * (@nlpro) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clears-logs/#post-10662199) * If there are older entries in the Logs page than expected based upon the “**Days to Keep Database Logs**” setting value in the **General Settings** module, follow the procedure below. * Add the line below to the wp-config.php file: * `define('ITSEC_DEBUG', true);` * This will add an extra menu option to the Security menu named Debug. Navigate to the Security->Debug menu option. * 1. Copy/paste the ### iThemes Security ### section from the **System Info** window into this topic. * 2.

I added to wp-config and I still have NO WAY to delete the logs. I did read the post, and I did follow it and it does not work. My logs just keep appending and I need to delete them. * I clicked RUN and the logs are still not purged. it is not working. * [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/) I did follow your instructions and it still does not allow me to delete the logs even if I click RUN on all three which I have several times. * [https://www.dropbox.com/s/5b8luadh7p496sf/Screenshot%202018-10-24%2016.02.41.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/5b8luadh7p496sf/Screenshot%202018-10-24%2016.02.41.png?dl=0) - This reply was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by [walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/). * [jetxpert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jetxpert/) * (@jetxpert) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clears-logs/#post-10853879) * All, * Closing the loop.
