  I’ve activated debugging on my site:
  
  define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
  define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
  define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true );

  However, I am not getting any updates to debug.log since clearing my cache.

  1. Opened and edited wp-config.php
  2. Uploaded update via FTP
  3. Got a bunch of header errors immediately, and it made troubleshooting difficult, though debug.log was populating some. Wasn’t able to recreate my issue because errors prevented me from doing so.
  4. Went to W3 Cache plugin and Purged all caches.
  5. Errors stopped, so I tried to recreate the issue I was having.
  6. Recreated it, but there are zero updates in debug.log

  ———–

  Original intent was to get debug logging for an issue I’m having with SiteOrigin Widget while editing a page. Adding the widget anew, setting it to Post Carousel, and choosing any querying other than “Posts” from the drop-down causes the widget to fail with (There has been a critical error on this website.), and a red banner atop that says “Updating Failed”.

  Turning on debugging is supposed to help identify what the cause of this is. But the debug.log stopped updating with any data since the steps above were performed.

  I tried, updating wp-config.php and turning debugging off again:

  define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false );
  define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, false );
  define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false );
  @ini_set( ‘display_errors’, 0 );

  … cleared cache, and then edited again to turn it back on. … But nothing.
  (At present, for security sake, it is off)

  Is there something about this process that I’m missing?
