Title: log_mail_errors does not work in wordpress.com environment Last modified: April 15, 2024 --- # log_mail_errors does not work in wordpress.com environment * Resolved [rapsli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rapsli/) * (@rapsli) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/log_mail_errors-does-not-work-in-wordpress-com-environment/) * On wordpress.com there is a probplem with the e-mail log in the following function: * ```wp-block-code function log_mailer_errors( $mailer ) {         if ( $mailer ) {             $fn = ABSPATH . '/wp-content/mail.log'; // say you've got a mail.log file in your server root             /* phpcs:ignore WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.file_system_operations_fopen */             $fp = fopen( $fn, 'a' );             /* phpcs:ignore WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.file_system_operations_fputs */             fputs( $fp, "Mailer Error: " . print_r( $mailer, true ) . "\n" );             /* phpcs:ignore WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions.file_system_operations_fclose */             fclose( $fp );         }     } ``` * The problem is, that on wordpress.com ABSPATH is not writeable, because the wordpress folder is mounted in! So this will then obviously fail, and provide the beloved wordpress errormessage. * It should be an easy fix to just put the mail.log to a different folder. * Here is the stack trace * [15-Apr-2024 03:00:08 UTC] PHP Warning: fopen(/wordpress/core/6.5.2//wp-content/ mail.log): Failed to open stream: Read-only file system in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/ plugins/classified-listing/app/Controllers/Admin/EmailSettings.php on line 17 [ 15-Apr-2024 03:00:08 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: fputs(): Argument# 1 ($stream) must be of type resource, bool given in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/ classified-listing/app/Controllers/Admin/EmailSettings.php:19Stack trace: 0 / srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/classified-listing/app/Controllers/Admin/EmailSettings. php(19): fputs(false, ‘Mailer Error: W…’) 1 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-includes/ class-wp-hook.php(324): Rtcl\Controllers\Admin\EmailSettings->log_mailer_errors( Object(WP_Error)) 2 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) 3 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-includes/plugin.php( 517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) 4 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-includes/pluggable. php(581): do_action(‘wp_mail_failed’, Object(WP_Error)) 5 [internal function]: wp_mail(Array, ‘[WE-NET ] Veri…’, ‘…’, Array, Array) 6 /srv/htdocs/wp-content/ plugins/classified-listing/app/Models/RtclEmail.php(763): call_user_func_array(‘ wp_mail’, Array) 7 /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/classified-listing-pro/app/ Emails/UserVerifyLinkEmailToUser.php(68): Rtcl\Models\RtclEmail->send() 8 /srv/ htdocs/wp-content/plugins/classified-listing-pro/app/Models/UserAuthentication. php(47): RtclPro\Emails\UserVerifyLinkEmailToUser->trigger(Object(WP_User), ’ 59c6a17f01ca48f…’) 9 /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/classified-listing-pro/app/ Models/UserAuthentication.php(26): RtclPro\Models\UserAuthentication::send_email( Object(WP_User)) 10 /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/classified-listing-pro/app/ Controllers/AuthController.php(114): RtclPro\Models\UserAuthentication::send_verification_link( 110) 11 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(326): RtclPro\Controllers\ AuthController::user_register(110) 12 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-includes/class- wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) 13 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/ wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) 14 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/ wp-includes/user.php(2508): do_action(‘user_register’, 110, Array) 15 /srv/htdocs/ wp-content/plugins/classified-listing/app/Helpers/Functions.php(3563): wp_insert_user( Array) 16 /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/classified-listing/app/Controllers/FormHandler. php(304): Rtcl\Helpers\Functions::create_new_user(‘tester2@wundern…’, ‘tester2’,‘ tester’, Array) 17 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): Rtcl\Controllers\FormHandler::process_registration(”) 18 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/ wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) 19 /wordpress/ core/6.5.2/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) 20 /wordpress/ core/6.5.2/wp-settings.php(717): do_action(‘wp_loaded’) 21 /srv/htdocs/wp-config. php(100): require_once(‘/wordpress/core…’) 22 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-load.php( 55): require_once(‘/srv/htdocs/wp-…’) 23 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/wp-blog-header. php(13): require_once(‘/wordpress/core…’) 24 /wordpress/core/6.5.2/index.php( 17): require(‘/wordpress/core…’) 25 {main} * thrown in /srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/classified-listing/app/Controllers/Admin/ EmailSettings.php on line 19 Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Support [Muhammad Ali Akbar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alireyad/) * (@alireyad) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/log_mail_errors-does-not-work-in-wordpress-com-environment/#post-17689202) * Hi, Please, check your wp-config.php file how you define or override it.
