is reading wordpress errors a good idea?

Solution:

I wouldn’t feel safe running my site if it regularly produces real errors. If you make it a habit to ignore the errors, you won’t catch those that will bite you. Turn display_errors off for production, but don’t hide the errors from your logs.
Most logged errors are easy to fix. If I find that a plugin does produce a lot of errors, I overthink using that plugin and keep my eye open for alternatives. After all, if the developer didn’t invest the time and effort to get the basic right, how much do you trust the security of that plugin?
That said, I wouldn’t read the error logs from start to finish on a busy site, but use scripts to filter out what I don’t want to see because I already know about it but can’t fix it. This means the usual 404s by buggy clients, exploit scanners, google hitting old content again and again etc, continuing the thought that if you train yourself to skip records, you will eventually skip records that you didn’t want to skip.
