Catch the error
before it catches you.
Error Catcher hooks into PHP shutdown to capture fatal errors and log them to a viewable file. Install it before any risky change. Remove it when you are done.
Know exactly when to use it
Error Catcher is a debugging tool, not a permanent fixture. Install it before a risky change, check the log, remove when done.
Before activating an untested plugin
Before uploading custom theme or plugin code
When a client reports the site went blank
When investigating any white screen issue
No setup required
Activate and it starts logging. No configuration, no settings to fill in.
PHP shutdown hook
Catches fatal errors, parse errors, core errors, and compile errors before PHP exits. Writes every detail to the log file.
Log viewer in wp-admin
The Log tab shows the most recent 200 entries with timestamp, error type, message, and file. Clear the log with one click.
Log survives deactivation
The log file lives at wp-content/dprime-error.log, outside the plugins directory. It stays on disk even after you remove the plugin.
Red banner in wp-admin
When a fatal is caught, a red banner appears across every admin screen until you clear the log. Hard to miss.
Zero production overhead
The shutdown function only does work when a fatal has already occurred. On every normal request it adds nothing.
Help tab included
The Help tab explains what the plugin catches, when to use it, where the log file lives, and how to clean up when you are done.
Free to download and use
Error Catcher is free. Install it, debug, remove it. No account required.
