How to Display or Hide Errors in Concrete5

The previous guide covered setting your login destination in Concrete5. In this tutorial we will show you how to hide or display errors on your Concrete5 website. Hiding errors on a website can be useful because, if visitors on your site see errors it can possibly scare them away.

On the other hand, seeing errors on your pages can assist you in troubleshooting issues, since you will see them as they occur. Visitors may also notify you when they receive an error, which can speed up the resolution process.

Concrete5 allows you to easily turn error logging on and off from the Dashboard.

Displaying or Hiding Errors in Concrete5:

1. Login to your Concrete5 Dashboard.
2. Roll your mouse over the Dashboard button on top, and click the System & Settings option.
3. Under the Environment section, click Debug Level. This will bring up the Debug Level menu.
   
   

   Option	Description
