# Viewing WordPress error logs in the File Manager on hosting.com Managed WordPress

> Learn how to view the WordPress error logs using the File Manager in the hosting.com 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://my.hosting.com](https://my.hosting.com).

2. In the left sidebar, click **Managed WordPress**:

3. On the **My Websites** page, locate the site, and then click **Manage**:

   * 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://my.hosting.com](https://my.hosting.com).
