How to check WooCommerce Error logs

Using WooCommerce Status Page: #

1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
2. Go to WooCommerce > Status.
3. Click the “Logs” tab at the top of the screen.
4. Select the specific log file you want to view from the dropdown menu. Log files are typically named in the format:
   woocommerce-YYYY-MM-DD.log or related to the plugin/module generating the log.
5. Click View to see the log details.

Accessing Logs via FTP or File Manager: #

1. Connect to Your Server using an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla) or your hosting control panel’s File Manager.
2. Navigate to the directory:
   wp-content/uploads/wc-logs/ or wp-content/uploads/woocommerce-logs/. Note: This directory must already be writable.
3. Look for log files named similarly to:
   woocommerce-YYYY-MM-DD.log.
4. Download the log file to your local system and open it with a text editor (e.g., Notepad or VS Code).

Debugging Errors in the WordPress Debug Log: #

If you suspect broader WordPress-related issues, enable WordPress debugging:

1. Open your wp-config.php file via FTP or File Manager.
2. Add or update the following lines:phpCopy codedefine('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false); // Keeps errors hidden on the front-end
3. Save the file.
4. Access the debug log located at:
   wp-content/debug.log.

That’s it. You have successfully been able to view the error logs of your plugin and can now fix the issue.
