Beskriuwing
DebugZen gives administrators a focused dashboard screen for managing WordPress debugging settings and inspecting the debug log.
The plugin uses the WP Config Transformer library to read, add, and update these constants in wp-config.php:
WP_DEBUGWP_DEBUG_LOGWP_DEBUG_DISPLAY
DebugZen does not use string replacement to modify those constants.
The Debug Log viewer reads only the latest 1,000 lines to avoid loading a large log into memory. Administrators can also clear the active debug log from the same screen.
Features include:
- Toggle WordPress debugging settings from Tools > DebugZen.
- Add missing debug constants or update existing values through WP Config Transformer.
- View the latest 1,000 debug-log lines.
- Clear the debug log securely.
- Restrict every action to administrators with the
manage_optionscapability. - Protect setting and log actions with WordPress nonces.
- Display clear errors when
wp-config.phpor the log is not writable.
Debug settings can expose sensitive technical information. Disable on-screen error display on production sites and protect access to log files at the web-server level.

FAQ
-
Does the plugin directly edit debug constants with string replacement?
-
No. It uses WP Config Transformer to locate, read, add, and update debug constants safely.
-
Why can I not save settings?
-
The plugin must be able to read and write
wp-config.php. File ownership, permissions, or host-level restrictions may prevent changes. -
Where is the debug log?
-
By default, WordPress writes the log to
wp-content/debug.log. IfWP_DEBUG_LOGcontains a custom path, DebugZen uses that path. -
Does DebugZen send data anywhere?
-
No. DebugZen has no telemetry, analytics, external API connection, or remote code loading.
