> Learn how to view the WordPress error logs using the File Manager in the Mochahost Dashboard.

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](https://clients.mochahost.com).
2. In the left sidebar, click **Managed WordPress**:

   * 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](https://clients.mochahost.com)
