SiteIntelix Debug Log Viewer

Description

SiteIntelix Debug Log Viewer helps administrators inspect WordPress debug logs, environment details, database information, and security settings directly from the WordPress admin area.

It is built for site owners, developers, and support teams who need a readable view of wp-content/siteintelix-debug.log without SSH access or external services.

Debug Log Viewer

  • Modern grouped cards — grouped errors with occurrence counts, severity styling, timelines, expandable stack traces, and global filters.
  • Classic table — compact table layout with Type, Datetime, Description, File, and Line columns.
  • Terminal Dark — developer-style dark terminal stream showing the latest 100 entries without pagination.
  • Global search that can find logs across all pages, not only the currently visible page.
  • Filters for Fatal, Warning, Notice, Deprecated, Database, and Info log types.
  • Configurable logs-per-page setting for paginated views.
  • Refresh, clear, and download actions protected by WordPress capabilities and nonces.

Logging Modes

  • MU Plugin mode — non-invasive capture layer that writes to wp-content/siteintelix-debug.log without editing wp-config.php.
  • wp-config.php mode — uses native WordPress/PHP debug constants and writes the custom WP_DEBUG_LOG path into wp-config.php.
  • Both modes use wp-content/siteintelix-debug.log instead of the default wp-content/debug.log.

Overview Dashboard

  • WordPress version, site URLs, active theme, plugins, timezone, language, charset, and multisite status.
  • PHP version, web server, PHP SAPI, memory limit, upload size, execution time, operating system, OPcache, and key PHP extensions.
  • Database extension, server/client versions, username, host, database name, table prefix, charset, collation, max packet size, and max connections.
  • Environment checks for debug mode, HTTPS, WP-Cron, object cache, script debug, file editing, file modifications, alternate cron, and cron lock timeout.

Health and Security

  • Health indicators for important WordPress, server, database, and environment settings.
  • Security Panel options for XML-RPC, WordPress version output, file editing, legacy head links, and basic login protection.
  • REST API availability status is surfaced as a top-level health signal.

Export Tools

  • Copy Report — copies diagnostics as formatted plain text.
  • Export JSON — downloads a timestamped JSON report.
  • Download Log — downloads the current SiteIntelix debug log.

Shortcode

Use [siteintelix_panel] on any page or post to display a compact system information table. The shortcode output is visible only to logged-in administrators.

Security and Privacy

  • All admin pages require the manage_options capability.
  • Admin actions use WordPress nonces.
  • Output is escaped with WordPress escaping functions.
  • No external CDN assets or JavaScript frameworks are used.
  • No data is sent to third-party services.
  • All inspected information stays inside your WordPress installation.

Privacy Policy

SiteIntelix Debug Log Viewer does not collect, store, or transmit personal data. All system information and logs are read from the local WordPress installation and displayed only to authorised administrators inside the WordPress admin area. No data is sent to any third-party service.

Screenshots

  • Overview Dashboard — WordPress, server, database, environment, health, and export tools.
  • Modern Debug Log Viewer — grouped cards, global filters, occurrence counts, and stack traces.
  • Terminal Dark Viewer — latest 100 entries in a dark terminal-style stream.
  • Classic Debug Log Viewer — structured table with Type, Datetime, Description, File, and Line columns.
  • Debug Settings — choose logging method, viewer UI style, and logs-per-page value.

FAQ

Who can access the plugin screens?

Only users with the manage_options capability can access SiteIntelix admin pages.

Where does SiteIntelix write debug logs?

Both logging modes write to wp-content/siteintelix-debug.log.

Does SiteIntelix use wp-content/debug.log?

No. SiteIntelix uses its own wp-content/siteintelix-debug.log file so WordPress’ default debug.log is not used by this plugin.

What is the difference between MU Plugin mode and wp-config.php mode?

MU Plugin mode captures common PHP and WordPress runtime messages without editing core configuration. wp-config.php mode uses native WordPress debugging constants and can catch debug output through WP_DEBUG_LOG, but it requires editing wp-config.php.

What is Terminal Dark mode?

Terminal Dark mode is a developer-style log screen that shows the latest 100 parsed log entries in a dark terminal layout. It does not use pagination.

Can the viewer search logs beyond the current page?

Yes. Search and server-side filters are applied to the parsed log dataset before pagination.

Does this plugin collect or send data anywhere?

No. SiteIntelix Debug Log Viewer does not transmit diagnostics, logs, or environment data to any external service.

How do I use the shortcode?

Add [siteintelix_panel] to a page or post. Only administrators can see the output.

Is the plugin Multisite compatible?

Yes. It activates per site and reports information for that individual site.
