Tell us what you are trying to do?
The wordpress generate an error log file, which with some days, it is too big. So the dedicated host is full. I would like to know if I can solve that problem, and need to solve why that errors appears.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I found some information on the web.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
No
What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Have you checked the error log, to see what are those logged errors or warnings related to?

In WordPress, it is recommended to turn off the debugging on the production website. It should only be turned on when working on a development website or when debugging/troubleshooting for something specif:

Thank you for your answer, I checked the config.php as your suggest and it showed the following

define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );

So It is turn off.

Checking on the errors log of the hosting I found, old records since July, October, December 2020,
I think the errors add up and generate this large file

I found the option to refresh the file by a cron task, as the following info:
hidden link

But I don´t know if this task can cause an error to the plugins

Can you help us?
Best Regards

Thanks for the update.

Using a cron job/task to delete/refresh the server's error/log file is fine and shouldn't affect the Toolset plugins.
