Beschreibung
TLloancy Stack Trace records PHP fatals (memory exhausted, parse error, and similar), uncaught exceptions, wp_die failures, and exceptions that a third-party plugin caught so the site would not white-screen.
Each row stores:
- The last SQL that actually belongs to the crash (from
$wpdb, or from a small adapter when a plugin talks to MySQL outside$wpdb) - Memory usage, peak, and the configured limit
- File and line
- The plugin, theme, or core component most likely involved
- The request URL
Entries live in a dedicated table, under Tools Stack Trace. You can export CSV or clear the log.
This is not a debug.log viewer and not a live profiler. Generic log plugins tail PHP or WordPress logs. Stack Trace records why a request died: the SQL that belongs to the crash (including plugins that never set $wpdb->last_query), memory at the limit, and exceptions another plugin caught so the site would not white-screen. Typical case: an All-in-One WP Migration export that fails with “refresh and try again” while the real cause is a 128M SELECT or a full disk.
It is for the morning after: the site crashed, nobody was watching, and you want the cause.
Plugins that bypass $wpdb
Some exporters (All-in-One WP Migration among them) run SQL on $wpdb->dbh directly. $wpdb->last_query is then empty or already overwritten (cron, Action Scheduler). Stack Trace keeps SQL in memory via adapters and, on failure, can read that plugin’s own error-log last_query field. It does not edit third-party files and does not hook their export pipeline as a stage.
Automatic update failure emails (WordPress 7.2+)
A failed automatic plugin update already includes the fatal message, file, and line. Stack Trace adds memory and last SQL from the same loopback check, with a link to the full log.
Installation
- Upload the
tlloancy-stack-tracefolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin from the Plugins screen.
- Open the log under Tools Stack Trace.
FAQ
-
Does this slow the site down?
-
On a normal request the cost is a shutdown callback that returns immediately unless PHP reports a fatal. A row is written only when something is recorded. Adapters add work only for the target plugin’s AJAX (for example an All-in-One export hop): a header check on success, disk I/O only on failure.
-
How many entries are kept?
-
300 by default. Older rows are pruned when you open the admin page. Override the limit with
TLLST_MAX_ENTRIESin wp-config.php. -
Does the plugin change other plugins‘ files?
-
No. It does not reorder
active_pluginsand it does not patch files on disk. -
Why is the last SQL not always from $wpdb?
-
If the crash is inside a known custom MySQL client,
$wpdb->last_queryis often unrelated. The adapter’s in-memory SQL (or that plugin’s error log) is used instead.
