Background

This article explains how to enable debugging mode for your Elementor hosted website.

When the debugging mode is enabled, the following happens:

  • All PHP errors, notices and warnings displays on the website front end. 
  • WordPress uses the non-minified versions of core CSS and JavaScript files rather than the minified versions that are normally loaded. 

You need to switch ON the WordPress & Script Debug field to enable debugging a problem or testing modifications to files. 

This is useful when you are testing modifications to any built-in .js or .css files. 

Enable debugging mode

To switch on debugging mode:

  1. Log into your My Elementor dashboard.
  2. Click the website card of the website you want to debug.
  3. In the left panel, click the Advanced tab.
  4. In the right pane, click PHP Configuration.
  5. Toggle Debug WordPress & PHP to on.

Debugging mode is not on.
