    Hi, In another post I talk about getting script errors when users to my site attempt to download sermons. However I don’t know if this is related so I did another post.

    I have the snapshot plugin and was looking at the report and saw the following…WP_DEBUG:Disabled. Is this supposed to be disabled and if not how do I enable it? Could it be the cause of my errors?
    Thanks to all of you for your patience and kindness!

    WP Debug is a special mode that is intended for developers to see any and all error messages, warnings and noticed. For everyday users, it’s not needed and shouldn’t need to be enabled.

    As far as script errors, that means the code on the site (often Javascript) has an error in it. You can view these by right clicking on your site and clicking Inspect Element (or by pressing F12 on your keyboard) then clicking on Console. It is normal for some errors to show, so consider what the problem is and what the expected output should be.

    Thousands of plugins often use Javascript or jQuery and could have problems. So, try disabling your plugins and re-enabling one at a time to determine what the issue could be. If you found the one causing the issue, visit their Plugin page and solicit support for it so they can improve the plugin.

    That’s a great answer Joe! I will do the inspect element check and see what pops up. I’ll repost the findings either way. Maybe someone else could reference it in the future. I don’t think I’ll have any luck with the theme author though.
