Debug Log Manager Tool is a debug log viewer and WP_DEBUG manager for WordPress. Read, search, group, and clear wp-content/debug.log from inside wp-admin; toggle WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY, SCRIPT_DEBUG, and SAVEQUERIES from explicit UI controls instead of editing wp-config.php ; capture the last fatal error during shutdown; and review slow database queries with their stack trace. Useful as a lightweight alternative to Query Monitor or Debug Bar when you mainly need a clean debug.log reader and explicit debug-constant control.
The plugin focuses on safe first-run behavior: activation does not automatically turn debug mode on, deactivation does not automatically turn it off, and existing debug constants or custom log paths are preserved until you choose to change them.
Use it to inspect the current debug log, search and group log entries, copy useful error details, and make explicit debug configuration changes from the WordPress admin when needed. Advanced tools such as terminal commands, database inspection, Safe Mode, and notifications are available as optional helpers.
Quick Demo
Key Features
Safe First Run : Activating the plugin does not automatically change WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY, SCRIPT_DEBUG, SAVEQUERIES, or existing log paths.
Explicit Debug Controls : Review current debug constant values and update them only through intentional UI actions.
Modern Debug Log Viewer : View, search, filter, group, copy, and clear debug log entries from a compact WordPress admin interface.
Readable Timeline Rows : Scan log entries with severity labels, occurrence counts, plugin/source hints, exact timestamps, and copy-as-JSON actions.
Stack Trace Analysis : Format PHP stack traces and database call chains so long fatal errors are easier to read.
Last Fatal Snapshot : Capture the latest fatal error during shutdown and show it in the log screen when wp-admin is available again.
Large Log File Preview : Open the current debug log file inside a modal and safely read the latest 1 MB of large files.
Smooth Upgrade Behavior : Upgrades preserve existing constants and custom debug log locations instead of replacing your current configuration.
Hook Inspector : View all registered hooks and their callbacks
Environment Detection : Development features are automatically hidden in production
Copy JSON : Copy structured log entries for support tickets or developer handoff
File Viewer : Inspect the debug log file without leaving the WordPress admin screen
Developer API : Use filters like wp_dlct_log_file_path and dlct_debug_file_path to customize log path behavior.
Please note: Configuration changes are made only by explicit UI actions. Deactivating the plugin does not automatically restore, remove, enable, or disable WordPress debug constants.

Frequently asked questions.
Do I need file manager/FTP or modify wp-config.php?
No. You can review current debug settings and turn debug constants on or off from the plugin settings when you choose to. Activation itself does not edit your debug configuration.
Will activation or deactivation change my debug constants?
No. Activation and deactivation do not automatically change WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY, SCRIPT_DEBUG, SAVEQUERIES, or your configured debug log path.
What happens when I upgrade from an older version?
The plugin preserves your existing debug constants and log path. Upgrade handling is designed to avoid replacing your current configuration unless you make an explicit change in the UI.
Are terminal commands and database tools required?
No. The core value is log viewing and debug configuration management. Terminal, database, Safe Mode, and notification tools are optional advanced features.
Can it help after a fatal error?
Yes. The plugin stores a small last-fatal-error snapshot during WordPress shutdown and shows it in the log screen when the dashboard can load again. It does not create a public emergency log viewer.
Can I see full debug in dashboard?
Yes you can see a simple log in dashboard widget and nicely formatted view in the plugin
What does safe mode do?
Safe mode will deactivate all the plugin except the selected one. When you turn safe mode off it will restore all the previous activated plugin.
