# error_log flooding

 * After installing the plugin, the error_log gets flooded with the following messages.
   The plugin works fine and can see it on our pages. Can someone tell me how to
   avoid this excessive logging? Thank you.
    If it helps, we renamed our WP_CONTENT_DIR
   directory to something else and I have replaced the parent directory path with
   <basedir> in the log below.

 * Update: It stopped flooding after I replaced this line towards the end of the
   file wp-content/plugins/wp-meetup/wp-meetup.php:
 *     ```
       $wpm_core = ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wp-meetup/wp-meetup.php';
       ```
   
 * with this line:
 *     ```
       $wpm_core = __FILE__;
       ```
   
 * I know it can be broken when the plugin updates, but until then.

 * svelianki,
 * Good Catch! That’s bad form on our part, I will adjust that before the next update.
 * Thanks,
