Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BugTrace – Debug Log Tool

This is a powerful new feature designed to accelerate your debugging. Next to each error log, you'll find icons for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google. Clicking one will open a new tab and automatically search that platform for a solution to that specific error, saving you the time of manually copying, pasting, and searching. It's like having an expert assistant for every error.

Yes, if a debug.log file exists and is writable by WordPress, BugTrace allows you to download it directly from the admin panel with a single click.

Yes, BugTrace can be used on a production site. However, exercise caution when enabling debugging modes (like WP_DEBUG or WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY) in a live environment, as this can sometimes expose sensitive information to visitors if errors occur. It's generally recommended for staging or development, or for brief troubleshooting periods on live sites.

BugTrace provides a read-only viewer for your .htaccess and wp-config.php files directly within the WordPress admin dashboard. This allows you to quickly inspect their contents for misconfigurations or unexpected code without needing FTP access or risking accidental direct edits to these critical files.

Yes, BugTrace includes a feature to view your scheduled WordPress cron jobs. This can help you verify that essential tasks are scheduled correctly and identify any unexpected or missing cron events that might be affecting your site's functionality.

Absolutely. BugTrace is designed with a minimalist UI and focuses only on essential debugging functionalities. It's lightweight and should not add any noticeable performance overhead to your website's front-end or admin area during normal operation.

Beyond specific file viewers, BugTrace allows you to see phpinfo() output for detailed PHP configuration, database table information (including size and row count), a list of active browser cookies (read-only), and WordPress transients (read-only). This helps in comprehensive server diagnostics.

BugTrace adds a convenient shortcut to the WordPress admin bar. This allows you to quickly view, download, or clear the debug.log file from any page within the admin area, speeding up your debugging process significantly.

The auto-refresh feature periodically reloads the debug log content within the BugTrace interface, allowing you to see new log entries as they are written without needing to manually refresh the page or the entire browser tab. You can also trigger a manual refresh at any time for immediate updates.
