# Debugging Cloned site?

 *  Resolved [stuartwaldner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuartwaldner/)

 * I’m trying to update my cloned site’s plugins and every time I install a specific
   one it breaks my site. The plugin developer wants me to send them a debug file.
 * How can I create a debug file on an UpdraftPLus cloned site?
 * I guess I can add a debug plugin (any suggestions?), but if/when my site breaks,
   how will I access the debug file to send to the plugin developer?
 * Thanks for all your help!
 * Cheers,
    Stuart

 * Please add following to wp-config.php file just before where it says:
    /* That’s
   all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
 * define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
    define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false ); define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’,
   true );
 * It will create debug.log file inside wp-content folder, I think the developer
   is asking for the debug.log file.

 * Thanks for your help, but since this is a cloned site hosted on UpdraftPlus, 
   how can access these files? Before and after the site breaks?

 * You should have received an email from UpdraftClone about your site and SSH details.
 * You can connect to the server via SFTP/SSH details and download the files to 
   your local computer make changes and upload it again.

   No need to start editing files. You can download the PHP error log directly from
   your Clone console on updraftplus.com – [https://updraftplus.com/my-account/clones/](https://updraftplus.com/my-account/clones/)
 * I will marked this resolved, as wordpress.org do not want their forums to be 
   used for support of commercial products – [https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products).
   For any further clone-related issues, please use the support on our site instead:
