## Description |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Debug Log Manager allows you to: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* **Enable [](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/WP_DEBUG](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/) with one click** to log PHP and database errors when you need to, and disable it when you're done. No need to manually edit wp-config.php file. |
| 22 |
* **Create the debug.log file for you** in a non-default location with a custom file name for enhanced security. |
| 23 |
* **Copy the content of the default / existing debug.log file** into the custom debug.log file, and delete the default / existing debug.log file. So there is continuation in logging and enhanced security going forward. |
| 24 |
* Parse the debug.log file and **view distinct errors and when they last occurred**, which is better than looking at the raw log file (potentially) full of repetitive errors. |
| 25 |
* **Quickly find and filter more specific errors** for your debugging work. |
| 26 |
* **Enable auto-refresh** to automatically load new log entries. No need to manually reload the browser tab, or to ```tail -f``` the log file on the command line. |
| 27 |
* **Easily clear the debug.log file** to save disk space and more easily observe newly occurring errors on your site. |

A more compact version of Debug Log Manager is included as part of the [](https://wordpress.org/plugins/system-dashboard/System Dashboard plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/system-dashboard/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/system-dashboard/), should you prefer a single plugin that does more. |

* Bug fix: undefined function wp_filesize() in bootstrap.php. Props to [](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gleysen/@gleysen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gleysen/](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gleysen/) for [](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-loading-2/reporting it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-loading-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-loading-2/). |
