The plugin uses the WP Config Transformer library to read, add, and update these constants in `wp-config.php`: * `WP_DEBUG` * `WP_DEBUG_LOG` * `WP_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_options` capability. * Protect setting and log actions with WordPress nonces. * Display clear errors when `wp-config.php` or 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. #### Third-party libraries DebugZen includes WP Config Transformer by the WP-CLI Development Group. It is distributed under the MIT License. Its license is included at `vendor/wp-cli/wp-config-transformer/ LICENSE`. This plugin does not contact external services, collect telemetry, or load remote executable code. ## Skermôfbyldings [⌊The DebugZen dashboard screen under Tools > DebugZen showing WP_DEBUG toggle switches and the live debug log viewer.⌉⌊The DebugZen dashboard screen under Tools > DebugZen showing WP_DEBUG toggle switches and the live debug log viewer.⌉[ The DebugZen dashboard screen under Tools > DebugZen showing WP_DEBUG toggle switches and the live debug log viewer. ## Ynstallaasje 1. Upload the `debugzen` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the plugin ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. 2. If installing from source without the bundled `vendor` directory, run `composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader` inside the plugin directory. 3. Activate DebugZen through the Plugins screen in WordPress. 4. Open Tools > DebugZen. 5. Ensure `wp-config.php` is writable before saving changes. Restore restrictive permissions after configuration if required by your hosting environment. ## 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`. If `WP_DEBUG_LOG` contains 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. ## Resinsjes D’r binne gjin resinsjes foar dizze plugin. ## Meiwurkers & amp; Untwikkelders “DebugZen” is iepen boarne software.
