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.

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.
