WordPress.PHP.DevelopmentFunctions.error_log_print_r

error log print r

Development or debugging behavior appears in code that may run in production.

medium weight

Why It Shows Up

The scan found logging, debugging, path disclosure, `phpinfo()`, error-reporting changes, or similar development-oriented functions.

Why It Matters

Debug output can leak paths, configuration, request data, stack details, or sensitive runtime information.

How to Fix

  • Remove temporary debugging calls before release.
  • If logging is required, guard it with `WP_DEBUG` or a plugin setting intended for administrators.
  • Never show debug details to unauthenticated visitors or normal front-end users.
