Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Error Sniffing Pug – Tells you what broke

No. Pug does its work on the admin side and on the error path only. On a normal page load it does almost nothing; the diagnosis, help links, and reports are all generated when you open a crash report, not on every request.

fatal-error-handler.php is Pug's capture drop-in, installed on activation. It is a standard WordPress drop-in location — the only path from which core will load a custom fatal handler. Pug installs, updates, and removes it for you, and will never overwrite one that belongs to another plugin.

Only one fatal-error-handler.php can exist. If another plugin got there first, Pug will not overwrite it, and Pug's capture will not run. Pug tells you this in the admin so you can decide which one to keep.

Pug supports PHP 7.0 and newer. On PHP older than 7.0 it deactivates its own code quietly rather than causing errors.

No. Diagnosis is done locally. The bug report for a plugin author is copy-and-paste — you send it, Pug doesn't. The notification email goes only to the address you configure, through your own site's mail.

Two ways, both private to you: point Pug at a notification email and it writes to you shortly after a fatal is captured, and the next time you open wp-admin Pug shows a dismissible notice linking to the report. Nothing is ever shown to your visitors.
