It is designed for site owners, administrators and developers who need a quick, safe way to review recent log output and troubleshoot issues. Key principles: * Admin-only access (capability checks). * Safe output escaping( no unsafe rendering of log content). * Audit-friendly implementation with capability checks, nonces and input sanitization. * Performance-aware loading (tail/limited lines, no full file reads in UI). * Local operation: log content is not sent to an external service. #### Features * Add and organize selected log files. * Scan common log locations inside `wp-content`. * Show a limited tail of each file to avoid loading large logs. * Refresh the visible log content without reloading the whole admin page. * Optional Live Log Stream visibility control in plugin settings. * File size badge for quick context before opening or refreshing a log. * Mini Health Bar for quick counters in the currently loaded log preview. * Quick Severity Filter: All, Errors, Warnings, Info and Custom. * Find text with match-case, whole-word and alternate-phrase options. * Navigate highlighted error lines and copy a line, selection or nearby context. * Highlight common PHP/WordPress severity formats and custom keywords. * Manage Custom keywords for user-defined words or phrases. * Summarize severity and custom matches in the currently loaded lines. * Filter the currently loaded lines by errors, warnings, info or custom matches. * Switch between Standard and Comfort log-window heights. * Show only new content after setting a local baseline. * Choose between Terminal, Light, Midnight and Solarized log styles. #### Notes about security and paths This plugin is intended for administrators. For safety, sensitive filesystem details may be masked in the UI. Log content itself may contain file paths written by other plugins/themes; this plugin does not modify log content. #### Separate PRO plugin A separate PRO plugin is available from Freedomification for advanced reporting, alerts, webhooks, maintenance workflows and extended log monitoring. ## Screenshots [⌊Main viewer for safely reading selected local log files directly in WordPress admin.⌉⌊Main viewer for safely reading selected local log files directly in WordPress admin.⌉[ Main viewer for safely reading selected local log files directly in WordPress admin.

Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install via the Plugins screen in WordPress. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen. 3. Open the dedicated `Freedomification Log Inspector` menu in wp-admin. ## FAQ ### Does it read the entire log file? No. The viewer is designed to display only the last N lines where possible to avoid loading huge files. ### Can non-admin users access logs? No. Access is restricted to users with the required capability (administrator by default). ### Why are some paths masked in the UI? To avoid exposing sensitive server paths in wp-admin screenshots and UI. Log content may still include paths produced by PHP/WordPress or other plugins. ### Where are my logs? Common locations include `wp-content/debug.log` (if WP_DEBUG_LOG is enabled) or server-specific error logs. Your hosting provider may store them elsewhere. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Freedomification Log Inspector” is open source software.
