Finding your Error Logs via FTP

Your error logs will help you to solve your WordPress problems. There are three common ways to access them. 

First, let’s take a look at how to access them via FTP:

1. Open your site in your favourite FTP program

2. Navigate to your root folder and check there. If your error log isn't there, you could try the wp-includes folder or  wp-content/debug.log. In rare cases, the error log is not in these locations, and you must ask the server administrator or the hosting company for the file's location. One thing is sure, the file exists.
