Advanced Log Manager menyediakan cara termudah untuk mengaktifkan debug mode tanpa perlu edit file manual!

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Akses Dashboard Plugin:

   • Login ke WordPress Admin Dashboard
   • Klik Tools → Advance Log Manager

2. Aktifkan Debug Mode:

   • Di dashboard utama, cari tombol besar "Enable Debug Mode"
   • Klik tombol tersebut
   • Plugin akan otomatis mengkonfigurasi wp-config.php

3. Verifikasi Setup:

   • Status Debug Mode akan berubah menjadi "Active"

Keuntungan metode ini:

• ✅ Tidak perlu FTP access
• ✅ Auto-backup wp-config.php
• ✅ Konfigurasi otomatis semua constants
• ✅ Safe rollback jika ada masalah

2. ⚙️ Manual Configuration (Advanced Users)

Jika Anda lebih suka kontrol manual atau memiliki server khusus, ikuti langkah-langkah berikut.

Step-by-Step Guide to Edit wp-config.php:

1. Connect to your server:

   • Use an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla, Cyberduck) or your hosting provider's file manager (e.g., cPanel File Manager) to access your WordPress installation's root directory. This is where you'll find wp-config.php.

2. Edit the wp-config.php file:

   • Locate and open the wp-config.php file using a text editor.

3. Add the debug constants:

   • Find the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */.
   • Insert the following lines of code just before this comment:

   define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
   define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
   define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

   • define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );: Activates debug mode across your WordPress site, reporting all PHP errors, notices, and warnings.
   • define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );: Ensures all debug messages are saved to debug.log in the wp-content directory. Recommended for production to keep errors private.
   • define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );: Prevents debug messages from being shown directly on your website, enhancing security and user experience while still logging them.

4. Save the file:

   • Save changes and re-upload wp-config.php if using an FTP client.
