WP Discourse Logging

The WP Discourse plugin has its own logging system (since v2.2.5). This is an overview of how it works and how to use it. If you have any questions please respond below. What is logged We’re rolling out logging to different areas of the plugin incrementally. So far, we’ve only added it to Publishing features (i.e. which handle publishing a post to Discourse). We will add it to other features after we’re happy with its performance on publishing. You’ll only see logs for publishing features at t…

As part of v2.2.5 we’ve also released a number other integrity-focused changes, including unit tests, production composer packages, CI updates and code formatting changes. The specifics of these are more for developers, but the benefits of which will be seen by end users over time. If you’re a developer wanting to learn more, please check out the new developer-focused documentation in the plugin:

this update took my site offline, looks like it is requesting vendor/autoload.php which doesn’t exist at least in the updated zip on wordpress.org

Update: removed the wordpress plugin and ioquake3.org is back online.

Particulars of my deployment: I’m using a demyx deploy of wordpress so it’s possible something there isn’t behaving right. Error log:

Warning: require_once(/demyx/wp-content/plugins/wp-discourse/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /demyx/wp-content/plugins/wp-discourse/wp-discourse.php on line 60
    Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/demyx/wp-content/plugins/wp-discourse/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /demyx/wp-content/plugins/wp-discourse/wp-discourse.php on line 60

WP Discourse version 2.2.5 fixes the issue: WP Discourse – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org. It’s available in the WordPress repo now.

Edit: The issue was caused by the plugin’s auto-load files not getting pushed to the WordPress repo. Angus has found a good workaround for the problem. I’ve tested the latest version on my own WordPress site and it loads without errors.
