It provides a simple PHP API to write log messages and an admin interface to view, filter, and manage log files stored in the WordPress installation root `logs/` directory. The plugin is designed to be minimal, dependency-free, and safe for use on production sites. ### 🎉 Key Features * Simple logging function for developers * Daily rotating log files * Separate log types: `debug` and `attention` * Debug logging can be enabled or disabled from admin * Admin UI to view, and filter log files * Secure file handling (capability and nonce protected) * No database tables or external services * Translation-ready ### Log Storage Location All log files are stored in: `logs/`. `logs` folder is created in the WordPress installation root on activating the plugin. An `index.html` file is automatically created to prevent directory browsing. ### Developer Usage Use the following helper function anywhere in your plugin or theme code: * `msbd_logs_create(' Log something only when the debug mode is active' );` * `msbd_logs_create( 'Unexpected issue detected, always log', 'attention' );` * `debug` logs are written only when debug mode is enabled * `attention` logs are always written ### Admin Interface After single-site activation, a new menu item **“MSBD Logs”** appears in the WordPress admin dashboard. When activated network wide, the settings page appears under ** Network Admin Settings MSBD Logs**. From this screen, administrators can: * View available log files * Filter log files by filename * Inspect log file contents * Enable or disable debug logging Only users with the proper admin capability can access the interface. Single-site activation requires `manage_options`; network-wide activation requires `manage_network_options`. ### Standalone & Compatible MSBD Logs works fully as a standalone plugin. If other MSBD-related plugins are installed in the future, menu grouping can be handled automatically without affecting functionality. ## Screenshots * [[ * Settings: The screen showing list of debug files and content from one. ## Installation 1. Upload the `msbd-logs` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Navigate to **Admin MSBD Logs** for single-site activation, or **Network Admin Settings MSBD Logs** for network-wide activation ## FAQ ### Does this plugin replace WP_DEBUG or PHP error logging? No. MSBD Logs is a helper for custom logging inside plugins or themes. It does not replace WordPress core debugging or PHP error logs. ### Where are log files stored? logs folder is created in the WordPress installation root on activating the plugin. All log files are stored in: `logs/`. ### What is the difference between `debug` and `attention` logs? * **debug**: Logged only when debug mode is enabled in the admin * **attention**: Always logged, regardless of debug setting ### Is this plugin safe for production sites? Yes. Debug logging can be disabled at any time, and logs are written only when explicitly requested by developers. ### Is this plugin compatible with all latest versions of PHP, HHVM, et cetera, et cetera? Short answer: probably. Long answer: I honestly don’t know for sure. I made a simple plugin. That’s why I recommend a minimum of PHP 8.0. Also I do specific tests to ensure that I stay compatible with PHP 8.2 ### This plugin breaks my site! How do I fix it?
