WordPress Daily Routine

Debug mode is active on a live site, exposing sensitive errors.

Debug Mode Left Enabled

Key Points: PHP notices, warnings, and paths are visible on the front-end. Looks bad and leaks info.

Your client visits their homepage — and instead of content, they see PHP warnings and function dumps. You forgot to turn off debug mode. Whoops.

😬 Why It’s Risky

• Reveals file paths, structure, even login locations
• Breaks layout with raw error text
• Exposes vulnerabilities to bots and bad actors

🛠️ Disable It Safely

1. In wp-config.php, make sure this is set:

   define('WP_DEBUG', false);

2. Remove or comment out:

   define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
    define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);

🧠 Dev Tip

Use a local or staging environment for debugging. On production — silence is golden.
