I find myself often logging into hosting control panels to retrieve php/mysql error logs when debugging WordPress. Figured I could save time if there was a plugin to display errors directly on the WordPress dashboard, if not I’d write one. Sure enough…I found one.

Super simple to use, upload, install and activate.
You will find a panel on the home dashboard of your WordPress install. Enjoy!
