WordPress Debug will not work

    Hi,

    I am stumped here. I have enabled Debug in my wp-config and it doesn’t create the debug.log file or log anything. I have tried creating the debug.log manually and that doesn’t log either.

    I am stumped.

    wp-content folder is 755

    I have added
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); // Turn on WP Debugging
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true); // Log errors to wp_debug.log
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false); // Turns off error reporting on the front end

    Any ideas?

    Why are you looking for a debug log entry? What problem are you trying to solve?

    I bought a plugin which is not working correctly and the developer asked me to turn on debugging and send the log.

    I cant understand why I cant get it to work, all the articles make it sound easy enough to enable.

    WP only writes to wp-content/debug.log if it encounters PHP errors. If there are none, no log. It’s possible that the plugin is misbehaving without triggering a formal error.
