Error: I see errors when I have wp_debug_display mode on. Why?

These are just notices to help our team test and are nothing to be concerned about. You shouldn’t run wp_debugging on live sites, as little notices like that are just for dev purposes and can put the site’s overall security at risk.

If you were asked to enable this by the support team and your issue is now resolved (or if perhaps a developer/designer working on your behalf left this in place) please go ahead and disable it. You can restore normal behaviour by:

  • Changing define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true); to define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, null); in your wp-config.php file
  • You may also need to change define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true); to define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false); in the same file (or indeed remove those lines altogether)
  • You may also wish to visit the Events → Settings → General screen and ensure debug mode is not checked (remember to save your changes if necessary!)
