 * **Warning**: file_put_contents(/home/nelmedia/public_html/wp-config.php): Failed
   to open stream: Success in **/home/nelmedia/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-
   debugging/vendor/wp-cli/wp-config-transformer/src/WPConfigTransformer.php** on
   line **349**
 * Caught Exception: \Fragen\WP_Debugging\Settings::add_constants() – Failed to 
   update the config file.
 * Any idea?

 * Can you do me a favor? I have a plugin that creates a bug report with more detailed
   information for the developer (sometimes that’s me). Could you install it and
   use it for the bug report, it would be helpful.

 * Thank you. Of course, the plugin is installed, and this message appears when 
   I try to activate it.

 * Does your wp-config.php file happen to be in a non-standard location?
