Constants of wp-config.php
Currently there are several PHP constants on the
wp-config.php that will allow you to improve you WordPress code and help you debug.By default this will be set to
false which will prevent warnings and errors from been shown, but all WordPress developers should have this option active.define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );
Check that the values must be bool instead of string
A minor patch later the on Wordpress version 2.3.2, the system allowed us to have a more granular control over the Database error logs.
Later on in the version 2.5, WordPress raised the error reporting level to E_ALL, that allows us to see logs for Notices and Deprecation messages.
If you have this option turned on, you might encounter problems with AJAX requests. This problem is related to Notices being printed on the output of the AJAX response, that will break XML and JSON.
When you use
WP_DEBUG set to true you have access to this constant, and this will allow you to log your notices and warnings to a file.When you use
WP_DEBUG set to true you have access to this constant; with it you can choose to display or not the notices and warnings on the screen.If these variables don't produce the output you are expecting check out the Codex Section about ways to setup your logging.
When you have a WordPress plugin or theme that is including the Minified version of your CSS or JavaScript files by default you are doing it wrong!
Following the WordPress idea of creating a file for development and its minified version is very good and you should have both files in your plugin, and based on this variable you will enqueue one or the other.
By default this constant will be set to
false, and if you want to be able to debug CSS or JavaScript files from WordPress you should turn it to true.define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );
Check that the values must be bool instead of string
WordPress default files
wp-includes and wp-admin will be set to its development version if set to true.On your WordPress administration you will have all your JavaScript files concatenated in to one single request based on the dependencies and priority of enqueue.
To remove this feature all around you can set this constant to
false.define( 'CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );
When you are dealing with the database you might want to save your queries so that you can debug what is happening inside of your plugin or theme.
Make
$wpdb save Queriesdefine( 'SAVEQUERIES', true );
Note: this will slowdown your WordPress
