In reply to: WPCS and Logging ErrorsWhen it comes to logging errors in a production WordPress environment while following the WordPress Coding Standards, you can use the following approach:
- Use WP_DEBUG_LOG: WordPress has a built-in feature called
WP_DEBUG_LOGthat allows you to log errors without displaying them to users. Here’s how to set it up:In yourwp-config.phpfile, add the following lines:phpCopy codedefine('WP_DEBUG', false); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);With this configuration, errors will be logged to a file in thewp-contentdirectory nameddebug.log. - Log Errors with error_log(): You can use the
error_log()function to log errors in your code. Since you’ve setWP_DEBUG_LOGto true, the errors will be written to thedebug.logfile without displaying them to users.Example:phpCopy codeerror_log('An error occurred with the external API call: ' . $error_message);
In case it helps, the use case I’m looking at now is logging an error if an issue occurs with an external API call on keduplicatebill.com.pk. I’d still display a graceful message to the user, but I’d like to know if there are unexpected problems with the API calls.

In reply to: Gallery size preview default image sizeif you’re using the GeneratePress theme. Your code is close, but there’s a small issue with the syntax. Here’s the corrected code:
function theme_gallery_defaults($settings) { $settings['galleryDefaults']['size'] = 'medium'; return $settings; } add_filter('media_view_settings', 'theme_gallery_defaults', 10, 1);With this code, you are attempting to set the default gallery image size to ‘medium’. However, please note that not all themes and plugins might support this change. You can add this code to your theme’s functions.php file.
