How do i log in to cpanel?
Hi @marcuspalle,
I believe you’re asking how to access the WordPress Dashboard of the staging site in order to enable WP_DEBUG mode. Just to clarify, WP_DEBUG doesn’t require Dashboard access—it can be enabled directly by editing the wp-config.php file of the staging site.
You can do this in one of two ways:
- Via FTP – Connect to your server with an FTP client, open the wp-config.php file of the staging site, and add the necessary WP_DEBUG lines.
- Via a File Manager plugin – If FTP isn’t convenient, log in to your live site’s WordPress Dashboard, install a file manager plugin there, and then use it to edit the staging site’s wp-config.php file.
Then you can enable WP_DEBUG mode by following this guide:
