 * That is what I set on wp-config.php but is not working, and I have even created
   the debug.log file at wp-content folder as and set 777 file permission to it 
   as well:
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
       define('WP_DEBUG', false);
       ```
   
 * Does someone here could imagine why? Thank you!

 * Why do you define it to true and then redefine the same thing to false?

 * My bad, just fixed that, but the error persists. That is what is added on my 
   wp-config.php with some hidden information here for security reasons:
 *     ```
       /**
        * For developers: WordPress debugging mode.
        *
        * Change this to true to enable the display of notices during development.
        * It is strongly recommended that plugin and theme developers use WP_DEBUG
        * in their development environments.

 * What could be causing the issue if not something at this peace of code? Thank

 * I also tried to set define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, ‘/wp-content/debug.log’ ); but did
   not work. Could it be an APACHE error as said here? [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13788660/with-wp-debug-log-set-to-true-no-debug-output-shows-in-debug-log-why](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13788660/with-wp-debug-log-set-to-true-no-debug-output-shows-in-debug-log-why)
   
   Tks! 😉

 * It seems my logs are being recorded here for some reason: /var/opt/remi/php72/
   log/php-fpm/www-error.log
    Does someone know tell me why? Thank you!

 * And /var/opt/remi/php72/log/php-fpm/www-error.log keep recording even after define(‘
   WP_DEBUG’, false ); is set.
