# Logs

# 📄 Logs

The **Logs** section in WC Studio provides access to **site-specific error logs**, allowing you to debug PHP errors, Laravel stack traces, cron failures, and more. This is your primary tool for identifying what went wrong when your store or custom features misbehave.

***

## 📍 Accessing Logs

**Go to:** `WC Studio → Stores → Select a Store → Advanced → Logs`

Each store has its own isolated logs for security, visibility, and clarity.

***

## 🧾 Log Format

Logs follow a standard format, which includes:

* Timestamp of the error
* Error level (e.g. `local.ERROR`)
* Error message
* Stack trace

## 🔍 Using the Logs Interface

* Logs are **automatically grouped by date**
* You can **search** by keywords (e.g., error type, class name)
* Click any log entry to **expand** and view the full trace
* Use **filters** to sort logs by severity: `error`, `warning`, `info`

***

## 🛠 Log Management Options

| Option            | Description                                                |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Download Logs** | Export logs as `.txt` files for local debugging            |
| **Clear Logs**    | Manually delete old logs you no longer need                |
| **Auto Rotation** | WC Studio automatically rotates logs to prevent overgrowth |

***

## ⚠️ Common Errors You'll See

* 🔧 Missing service providers or Laravel packages
* 🧩 Plugin/theme compatibility errors
* 🛠 PHP fatal errors (class/function not found)
* ⏱ Cron job failures
* 🔗 Broken API/webhook integrations

***

## 💡 Pro Tips

* ✅ Enable `WP_DEBUG` and **Log Errors** in WP Config for detailed error tracking
* ✅ Pair logs with **Snapshots** to roll back if debugging causes new issues
* ✅ Use logs after updates, deployments, or plugin/theme changes to verify stability
