Hello there 👋

The debug.log doesn’t rotate on its own (unless this changed in the very last release of WordPress). I advise checking whether you have a plugin installed that provides log rotation functionality.

Kind regards 👋

Thanks for writing back!

I have to correct my previous statement. The debug.log rotation has been added to prevent debug.log from being inflated endlessly.

We found that some sites that had this enabled have had a lot of disk space being used and even performance issues due to large debug.log files.

As a measure to prevent this, we recently implemented debug.log rotation. This is a platform-wide change applied to all WordPress sites on Kinsta.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Kind regards!

Is there any way to disable it using some constant define or someting else like from support?

I see this is being handled in a Support chat.

Nevertheless, to reiterate, we are not able to disable it permanently but we can make an exception for a few days if that would help.

Kind regards 👋
