## Description

Using this simple plugin, you can update `wp-config.php` by setting the PHP named
constants used for WordPress debugging via a simple UI. Those named constants are`
WP_DEBUG`, `WP_DEBUG_LOG`, `WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY`, `SCRIPT_DEBUG`, and `SAVEQUERIES`.

This plugin also allows you to view and edit the `debug.log` file from within the
WP Admin panel, without the need to access this file directly through the file system.

Moreover, this plugin introduces a debugging function, `gorilla_debug()`, that allows
you to output debugging messages to either the display or the `debug.log` file.

_This plugin is intended for development purposes only_

## Installation

You can install `Gorilla Debug` in any one of the following ways

**From your WordPress dashboard**

 1. Visit `Plugins -> Add New`
 2. Search for `Gorilla Debug`
 3. Activate `Gorilla Debug` from your Plugins page.

**From WordPress.org**

 1. Download `Gorilla Debug`
 2. Upload the `gorilla-debug` directory to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 3. Activate `Gorilla Debug` from your Plugins page.

**If the plugin cannot be activated**

If you were unable to activate the plugin, it is most probably due to file protection
and permissions set to protect `wp-config.php`. If this happens, then you will be
instructed to activate manually.

Remember, this plugin is for development purposes only, and if you decide to change
file permissions to change the access privileges for `wp-config.php`, then it is
better to do so in a secure development environment. If you need to use this plugin
in a live environment, and you change your file permissions to allow this plugin
to work, then you have to ensure that `wp-config.php` is protected again after you
finish using this plugin.

**Once Activated**

 1. Access `Gorilla Debug` from the WP Admin panel, and then click on `Settings` (i.
    e., ‘Gorilla Debug -> Settings`).
 2. Change the debug settings to your preferences. The bottom section shows the settings
    changes that will be made to `wp-config.php`.
 3. Click `Save Changes` to save the settings.
