# 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 code`define('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.
