wps adds [whoops](http://filp.github.io/whoops/) error handler to a WordPress installation.

It makes error messages from PHP, `admin-ajax.php`, and WP REST API a *great* deal more clear and convenient to work with.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

[Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) (recommended)Release archive`composer require rarst/wps`[![Download wps](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b6f76734c8428d281fa424866e1adca923b2bf5a5af339eb4ffe94cf4f090e3d/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f646f776e6c6f61642d7770732e7a69702d626c75653f7374796c653d666f722d7468652d6261646765)](https://github.com/Rarst/wps/releases/latest/download/wps.zip)Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The plugin is meant strictly for development and will only work with `WP_DEBUG` and `WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY` configuration constants enabled.

Silence errors
--------------

[](#silence-errors)

whoops can definitely get noisy with a lot of low–grade errors.

Silence errors for irrelevant locations to keep it practical and productive.

### Silence for URL

[](#silence-for-url)

Use `?wps_disable` query argument in the URL to temporarily disable whoops.

### Silence for path

[](#silence-for-path)

Use regular expressions to match source file paths and [error constants](https://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.constants.php) to configure what should be silenced.

This can be called multiple times and/or array of paths can be provided.

Note that the direction of slashes needs to match operating system or write your regexes to match either.

```
global $wps;

// Silence notices and warnings for any path.
$wps['run']->silenceErrorsInPaths( '~.*~', E_NOTICE | E_WARNING );

// Silence for specific directory.
$wps['run']->silenceErrorsInPaths( '~/wp-admin/~', E_NOTICE | E_WARNING );

// Silence _except_ specific directory.
$wps['run']->silenceErrorsInPaths( '~^((?!/my-plugin/).)*$~', E_NOTICE | E_WARNING );

// Silence for plugins _except_ specific plugin.
$wps['run']->silenceErrorsInPaths( '~/wp-content/plugins/(?!my-plugin)~', E_NOTICE | E_WARNING );
```
