HOW TO OPEN YOUR BROWSER JAVASCRIPT CONSOLE

If you’ve never used the Browser JavaScript Console before, here’s how you open it:

  • Chrome PC shift+ctrl+j – Chrome Mac alt+cmd+j
  • Firefox PC shift+ctrl+k – Firefox Mac alt+cmd+k
  • Safari PC shift+ctrl+c – Safari Mac alt+cmd+c

HOW TO USE BUGFU WITH WORDPRESS

Call the log static method from wherever you are within the WordPress PHP code

<?php /* WORDPRESS CODE HERE */ /* Call it with no arguments to only output some backtrace info */ BugFu::log(); /* Call it with a string argument to output that string content */ BugFu::log($my_string_content); /* Call it with a non-string argument to output the structured representation of that argument - it uses var_export() */ BugFu::log($my_object-array-variable); /* Call it with the second optional argument set to "false" to turn off the backtrace info (which is on by default) */ BugFu::log($my_content, false);
