TIElogremover

By default, the plugin works for WordPress running on a GoDaddy VPS using Linux. In other words, it looks for specific files in specific places. Specifically, it looks for files called “error_log” in the root of the WP install, in the wp-admin directory and in the wp-content directory. Three files in all.

Absolutely, if you don’t mind editing a plugin file. Look in the php and change the do_tielog_remove_logs function. All the files to delete are listed there, starting from the ABSPATH (the root of the WP install). It’s pretty obvious how it works, so you can tailor it to your server setup.

You may have a custom ABSPATH definition. By default, it’s set in your wp-config file with a trailing slash. If you have changed that, the plugin won’t work – you can either put the trailing slash back on ABSPATH or add a leading slash to each deletion line in the plugin, whichever suits your need. Also check the slash direction, especially if you’re running on a local Windows server install.

At most once per day. You can change this in the do_tielog_activate function: switch the value ‘daily’ to whatever suits you (and will work with wp_cron). Personally, I find leaving it on daily works best: it gives me time to switch off the plugin if there’s a problem on a site and still have logs available, unless I’m really unlucky.

You’re reading it. You can visit the plugin homepage at http://setupmyvps.com/tielogremover for thoughts and comments, but there really isn’t much to say about such a basic, simple plugin.
