Solution:
It’s not safe to run a site that regularly produces real errors. Ignoring them may cause you to miss critical issues.
✅ Best Practices:
- Turn off display_errors in production, but keep logging enabled so errors are still recorded.
- Most logged errors are fixable. If a plugin generates many errors, consider looking for alternatives, because persistent errors can indicate poor coding or security risks.
- Avoid reading logs from start to finish on a busy site. Use filtering scripts to skip known, harmless errors (like 404s from bots or old content).
⚠️ Caution:
- Training yourself to ignore logs can be dangerous. You might inadvertently skip new errors that need attention.
- Regularly review logs and address critical issues instead of relying solely on filters.
