 * Hi, first thank you for your work and amazing tool that really help.
 * I’ve noticed that in my 2 last projects I have a security issue : **WP Config
   debugging is enabled**.
 * I have this error even though in my wp-config.php file debug mode is deactivated.
   I never used the debug mod for those projects.
 * Does someone have an idea of what can it be ?
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@malakyto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malakyto/)
 * There’s a possibility that the debugging was enabled externally.
 * Some hosting environments or plugins might enable debugging through methods other
   than the `wp-config.php` file. They might alter server configurations or use 
   other mechanisms to initiate logging. In such cases, the `wp-config.php` file
   might not have these lines, but debugging could still be active.
 * Can you reach out to your hosting support and see if they’ve enabled debugging
   in some way?

 * Thank you for your answer. I have other websites on the same server that don’t
   show this error. But I’m gonna ask my hosting provider.
