I’ve actually never dealt with logging at all, but I followed the basic directions in Method 1 here.
Unfortunately when I attempt to activate/deactivate anything that’s been having problems, no errors are getting logged. I’m not sure if that’s because the logging is somehow not working, or because no actual errors are occurring (nothing ever appears to throw an error on the blog admin pages).
What’s the best way to get a hold of the error logs for WP?
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Unfortunately, none of these worked. All the attempts yielded the same result, that being that anything I attempted to deactivate claimed to be “deactivated”, but in reality never actually was. Resetting the plugins folder did manually deactivated everything, but when I set the folder back the way it should be, the original problem returned.
Related, I’m similarly unable to switch themes (so unable to try your 2nd suggestion): when I click “Activate” under a specific theme, the page reloads and claims the new theme has been activated, but in reality the same theme is still activated.
