-Subject: [PATCH 199/229] patch: stops wordpress from hardcoding the location
- of debug.log
-
-by default, if DEBUG_LOG is true, wordpress will set error_log to wp-content/debug.log,
-which is publicly accessible. We want instead to set it via our own php.ini. This patch
-removes the Wordpress code responsible for modifying the error_log location.
