How do I view WordPress logs?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:29 am

When it comes to WordPress logging, it can be difficult to know where to start. After all, WordPress logs are pretty comprehensive and can contain a lot of useful information.

However, it can be helpful to approach logs from different angles in order to better understand the data they contain.

PRO TIP: If you are considering viewing the WordPress logs, be aware that this may be considered a security risk. By default, the WordPress logs are located in the /wp-content/ folder, but they may also be stored in other locations. If you are unsure about where the logs are located, please contact your host or administrator for more information.

For example, you might want to focus on specific log messages in order to better troubleshoot issues. Additionally, you can use logs to measure the success or failure of your WordPress site.

Last but not least, logs can be a useful source of information when investigating security breaches.

Ultimately, it’s important to consider the purpose of logs when reviewing them. Otherwise, you might end up missing important information or overlooking potential issues.
