WordPress.PHP.DevelopmentFunctions.error_log_set_error_handler
error log set error handler
Development or debugging behavior appears in code that may run in production.
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.
