Debug log never working

[koupmi]

When you turn on debug log properly, file is not created and there are not recording.

Thanks for the report!

Could you share the steps you took to set up the debug log? We need to know whether to correct the code or the instructions.

Hi @koupmi

Welcome to the trac! Did you check if your directory where debug.log file will be written is writable? Most of the time it's the issue of writing permissions. Usually debug.log will be placed if not specified under /wp-content/

Please check your installation setup & let us know how we can also reproduce the issue on a fresh installation with proper write permission.

Hi @koupmi,

I'm checking in 3 years later to see if you're still having an issue here? We don't have any other reports of this issue and I'm unable to reproduce it. I think the recommendation to check write permissions is the way to go, perhaps looping in your host if needed.

I'm going to close this ticket to help clean up Trac, but feel free to reopen if you're still experiencing the issue and think it's specific to WordPress itself.
