202228 releases

  1. Debug Log Manager 2.0.0

    • WordPres core, plugin or theme files where PHP errors occurred can now be easily viewed by simply clicking on the file path in each error entry. This is done using core’s plugin/theme editor (modified to load in view-only mode) and the wordpress-develop repo on Github for core files.
