 * Error messages are shown in my wordpress dashboard and I can’t hide them even
   I use
    **error_reporting(0); @ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0); in wp-config.php.
 * I place the code as below:
 * > <?php
   >  _error\_reporting(0); @ini\_set(‘display\_errors’, 0); /** * The base
   > configurations of the WordPress. * * This file has the following configurations:
   > MySQL settings, Table Prefix, * Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH.
   > You can find more information * by visiting {@link [http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing\_wp-config.php](http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)
   > Editing * wp-config.php} Codex page. You can get the MySQL settings from your
   > web host. * * This file is used by the wp-config.php creation script during
   > the * installation. You don’t have to use the web site, you can just copy this
   > file * to “wp-config.php” and fill in the values. * * [@package](https://wordpress.org/support/users/package/)
   > WordPress */
 * I wonder if there is a way to hide the php error message. Help.

 * After a bit of digging around I found a file in wordpress that seems to handle
   most if not all error reporting. /wp-includes/class-wp-error.php
 * Do yourself a favor and back that file up before you make any changes to it, (
   I manually edited the file on my server and when I saved all the php after the
   code I placed in vanished) and put:
 *     ```
       error_reporting(0);
       @ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);
       ```
   
 * Right after the opening php tags. I have no idea why this doesn’t work in wp-
   config anymore.
