TLloancy Stack Trace

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

  1. Upload the tlloancy-stack-trace folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins screen.
  3. 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_ENTRIES in wp-config.php.

Does the plugin change other plugins‘ files?

No. It does not reorder active_plugins and 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_query is often unrelated. The adapter’s in-memory SQL (or that plugin’s error log) is used instead.
