BFG Error Log Aggregator – WordPress Plugin

One dashboard to read every WordPress error log you care about

The BFG Error Log Aggregator plugin helps you stop hunting for error logs across random folders and hosting panels.
It finds and displays common WordPress/PHP log files in one place, with a clean tabbed viewer so you can quickly diagnose issues without digging through FTP.

If you manage multiple sites (or you’re tired of “where is the log this time?”), this tool gives you a single, predictable place to read errors and warnings.

What BFG Error Log Aggregator Does

BFG Error Log Aggregator scans for common log locations used by WordPress, PHP, and popular hosting setups, then presents them inside your admin.
It focuses on reading and organizing logs — not changing your server configuration.

It provides:

• A central admin screen that lists detected logs
• Tabbed log viewer so each file is easy to read
• Quick actions like refresh/reload for the current log
• Line-limit controls so large logs don’t freeze your browser
• Friendly “not found” messaging (so you know what’s missing)

The plugin is designed to be safe: it does not execute anything from log files, and it does not modify your logs unless a feature explicitly says so.

Why It Is Useful

• Find problems faster – stop guessing where the error log lives on each host.
• Less FTP and fewer panels – read logs directly in WordPress admin.
• Cleaner troubleshooting – compare multiple logs in one place.
• Safer than server-wide changes – you can inspect logs without changing php.ini settings.
• Great for busy site owners – quick visibility when a plugin/theme update breaks something.

How BFG Error Log Aggregator Works

1. Install the plugin

1. Go to Plugins → Add New
2. Click Upload Plugin
3. Select the BFG Error Log Aggregator ZIP file
4. Click Install Now and then Activate

2. Open the log dashboard

After activation, you’ll have a new admin page where BFG Error Log Aggregator lists detected logs.
Each log opens in a clean viewer so you can scroll and search visually.

3. Control how many lines you load

Some logs get huge. To keep things fast, BFG Error Log Aggregator can load a limited number of lines (for example, the most recent lines).
That gives you the newest errors without loading a massive file.

4. Common log locations it checks

Exact locations vary by host, but the plugin looks in typical places like:

• WordPress root and common subfolders (for error_log)
• wp-content and wp-content/uploads (common host defaults)
• Common debug file paths (for example wp-content/debug.log when enabled)

If no logs are found, it will tell you — and you can enable WordPress debugging the usual way if needed.
