    I have a very large and publicly viewable debug.log file. 150MB and counting. It is also publicly viewable. Most of the errors are with the theme and I will be converting to another theme. If I try to remove the contents of debug.log, it kills the site.

    How do I reset it and how to I make it “private”.

    Thanks.

    What happens to the site exactly when you try to remove the contents? Does any error show up or just a blank screen on the entire site?

    Are you just trying to empty out the debug.log file contents or trying to remove the entire file itself? Do you have define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); set in inside of the wp-config.php file?

    Blank screen on entire site.

    Just want to empty the contents. Also, Wordfence says the file is publicly accessible and should be fixed. When I change permissions, get blank screen.

    Do you have define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true ); set in inside of the wp-config.php file?

    Yes.

    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true );

define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );

    Thanks, Jarret.
