AffiliatePress – Debug Log Settings

To access the Debug Log settings, go to the WordPress admin dashboard, click on the AffiliatePress menu in the sidebar, then navigate to the Settings page.

AffiliatePress offers robust debug logging tools to help administrators monitor, troubleshoot, and validate the core processes involved in affiliate management. The Debug Log Settings section is designed to provide transparent visibility into internal activities such as email delivery, commission tracking, and payout processing.

Logs are automatically generated when specific actions are triggered, allowing for faster debugging and smoother operation.

To access the Debug Logs, you can head over to AffiliatePress > Settings > Debug Logs.
