Viewing WordPress error logs in the File Manager on Rocket.net Managed WordPress

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.

2. In the left sidebar, click Managed WordPress:

   

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

   

4. On the Rocket 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://my.hosting.com.
