When troubleshooting various WordPress issues, you may need to view the error_log file for your website. This log file contains errors that are created by WordPress core, plugins, or themes and can be useful for diagnosing problems. To view the error_log file, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to the Hosting Panel at https://clients.mochahost.com.
  2. In the left sidebar, click Managed WordPress:
  3. On the My Websites page, locate the site, and then click Manage:
  4. On the Mochahost dashboard, click the File Manager icon:
  5. In the Search Files text box, type error_log:
    • If there is an error_log file present, click the filename to view its contents. On the right side is a scrollbar that shows your current position in the file. The error_log file will often have very long lines, so you can use the scrollbar at the bottom to scroll to the right to see the rest of the line.
    • If an error_log file is not present, then clear the search, and check again in the wp-admin and wp-content folders. If you don’t see any error_log files, you might need assistance. You can open a support ticket with us at https://clients.mochahost.com
