 * Hi, Thanks for this plugin. it looks like it will be a useful addition to my 
   site. The dashboard is telling me that i have de-bugging active, but i have checked
   wp-config.php and it is set to false. is there another location or file i should
   be checking?
    Regards, John.

 * Hello John, can you tell me please exactly which debugging do you mean ? Is it
   Debug mode or Database debug mode ?
    Thank you.

 * Hi Csaba,
    I am referring to the notice when using WP DB Booster. It says that
   I have Database DEBUG mode turned on. this is the text from the pop-up. Database

 * Default Table Prefix

 * Debug Mode
    OK
 * Database Debug Mode
 * Having any kind of debug mode (WP DB debug mode in this case) or error reporting
   mode enabled on a production server is extremely bad. Not only will it slow down
   your site, confuse your visitors with weird messages it will also give the potential
   attacker valuable information about your system.

 * Actually, plugin checks this function $wpdb->show_errors() , if it returns true
   its shows the “BAD” message, maybe one of your plugins used that function to 
   set errors to be shown.
 * Please check for more info here: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/show_errors/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/show_errors/)
 * If you want to hide them you have to use wpdb::hide_errors()
 * thank you,
 * Csaba
