Disable error reporting in WordPress

I have seen a few posts in these forums looking for a way to disable PHP notices or to disable php warnings showing up in WordPress.

The other posts suggested putting the following at the *top* of wp-config.php file:

error_reporting(0);

This does not work, however, because when that file calls wp-settings.php at the bottom, the error reporting is overidden by WordPress’ own settings.

In order for the line above to work, it most come after the call to wp-settings.php – for example:

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

error_reporting(0);

Just remember, if you want to enable WP_DEBUG, you will have to comment out this line for you to see debugging errors.

Hope this helps!
