But if you leave debug running for long periods that log can grow MASSIVELY. This can slow your site down. This plugin uses the wordpress cron jobs to empty the debug log once it grows beyond a certain size. NOTE this plugin relies on wordpress cron. If that is not working this plugin will not work. But then you will also have bigger problems! **Like this plugin?

LH Clear Debug Log by Cron, and all [https://lhero.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lh-clear-debug-log-by-cron/LocalHero?output_format=md) plugins are made to WordPress standards. Therefore they should work with all well coded plugins and themes. However not all plugins and themes are well coded (and this includes many popular ones). If something does not work properly, firstly deactivate ALL other plugins and switch to one of the themes that come with core, e.g. twentyfirteen, twentysixteen etc. If the problem persists please leave a post in the support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-clear-debug-log-by-cron/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lh-clear-debug-log-by-cron/).
