# Enable Full Error Backtrace?

 * Hey Bowo,
 * First of all, thank you for making such a great plugin man… I really appreciate
   it.. It’s gotten a lot easier to troubleshoot wp issues.
 * So, I notice that after installing the plugin, my logs seem to lack the detailed
   backtrace that used to exist before I installed debug log manager, which makes
   it tougher to find the source of the errors that are appearing.
 * Is there some kind of function or option within the code that is truncating some
   of the backtrace data?
 * Would there be a way to enable a detailed backtrace while still keeping the plugin
   enabled?
 * Thank you in advance for your time and help with this.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fenable-full-error-backtrace%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@fightsmarttrav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fightsmarttrav/) great 
   to hear you’re finding DLM useful for your dev workflow. I’m also using it on
   my day-to-day dev work.
 * As to your question, I don’t think DLM changes the error logging level, as it’s
   task is only to enable/disable logging by modifying the debugging constants in
   wp-config.php, and then parsing the debug.log file.
 * I’ve always been able to see backtrace for PHP Fatal errors, but not for other
   errors (warning, notice, deprecation). Are you saying you’re even not seeing 
   stack/backtrace for fatal errors?

 * p.s. additionally, you can always check the raw debug.log file, which DLM creates
   in a new location (you can look up the location at the bottom of the DLM dashboard).
   Is it missing the back/stack trace for fatal errors there?

 * Hey Bowo,
 * Actually, it looks like the stack trace is there for fatal errors… maybe just
   not for some of the other errors that Optimize Press support was trying to troubleshoot.
   Hm…
 * Anyhow, thank you for the reply!

   welcome. OK, hope you’re able to figure it out. Marking this resolved for now.
