Appendix

Configuring error logs and displaying errors

The first step in troubleshooting WordPress is to find the actual error on the site. WordPress debug mode is disabled by default, and hence we can't see the actual error on the browser. We have to enable debug mode and make the necessary configurations in order to track errors.

In this recipe, we are going to enable default debugging features, set up error logs, and manage the settings for displaying errors.

Getting ready

Open file manager and have access to the main folder of your WordPress installation.
