 * Hello,
 * Is the plugin supposed to change settings to avoid this warning? I want to see
   the warnings within the dashboard without displaying them elsewhere. [https://prnt.sc/Neg4ihtDjQAj](https://prnt.sc/Neg4ihtDjQAj)
 * Thanks

 * The screenshot you sent is what DLM is supposed to do in wp-config.php.
 * The title of your post is “Vulnerabilites Detected”…. where do you see this message?
 * With DLM activated and logging enabled, you should be seeing PHP errors in the
   DLM dashboard and not elsewhere. Is that not the case in your site?

 * Got it. Thanks. This screenshot explains the reason: [https://prnt.sc/YyLIrwr42nsF](https://prnt.sc/YyLIrwr42nsF)
 * DLM does still place the debug log inside wp-content folder, but uses a random
   file name for it, e.g. siteid_20240328220751253582_debug.log which should help
   avoid hackers to easily find it and inspect potentially sensitive data included
   in the log file. This is a more secure approach than the default location wp-
   content/debug.log.
 * If you think that is enough, you can ignore the warning on GoDaddy dashboard.
   If not, you probably need to find another solution/plugin to handle debugging
   and debug log file.
 * On the flip side, it might be worth a shot to contact GoDaddy support to only
   show the vulnerability warning if the debug log file is in the default location,
   i.e. wp-content/debug.log, which is highly predictable.
