Useful debug settings for the wp-config.php file:

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); – Turn on warnings and notices.

define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true); – Log those warnings and notices to wp-content/debug.log

define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false); – Don’t display them just log them to debug.log. (Publicly accessible if location is not changed)

To change the location of the debug.log file use this instead of WP_DEBUG_LOG:
PHP

ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 ); ini_set( 'error_log', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/debug.log' );

1
2

ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );
ini_set( 'error_log', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/debug.log' );

To use the same config file for different environments I have been using this a lot these days:

if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'local') === false){
	define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');
	define('DB_USER', 'username');
	define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
	define('WP_DEBUG', false);
	
	/** WP Memory Limit */
	define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M');
	
	/** Limit number of post revisions */
	define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5);

	/** Turn Off PHP Error Reporting */
	error_reporting(0);
	@ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);
}

if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'local') >= 0){
	define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');
	define('DB_USER', 'user_name');
	define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
	define('WP_DEBUG', true);
}

if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'local') === false){

define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');

define('DB_USER', 'username');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

/** WP Memory Limit */

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M');

/** Limit number of post revisions */

define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5);

/** Turn Off PHP Error Reporting */

error_reporting(0);

@ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);

}

if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'local') >= 0){

define('DB_NAME', 'database_name');

define('DB_USER', 'user_name');

define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

}

Putting development connection settings in the ‘local’ and live settings in the not ‘local’.
