Wordpress Debug Errors

debugging acf blocks

1. add your block to an empty page
2. most errors are caused by missing values in your block. ie: no image value added to the block or no subtitle value
3. save your block with no values to see the errors in your theme code.
4. use query monitor to tell you if there are any php warning or errors on your test page
5. query monitor is also good for relating errors to specific pages and urls - With query monitor you can visit a url and to get the errors relating to that page

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
