Daily Tip: Add Your Error Log to the WordPress Dashboard as a Widget
October 7, 2011
Ever wanted to have a quick peek at your error logs but too lazy to sign into your hosting account? Error Log Dashboard Widget puts your error log at your finger tips at all times. Install and activate and you’ll automatically get a dashboard widget error log for any user with the manage_options capability.
Only the end of the log is read so there’s no worry of memory overflow issues. It’s safe for even the largest logs. Please note that it seems you’ll need to have fopen enabled in order for it to work. Download the Error Log Dashboard Widget plugin to make checking error logs more convenient.
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
