Plug Error Handler

Plug Error Handler is a lightweight and safety-focused WordPress plugin that helps prevent white screens or fatal crashes caused by problematic plugins. It does this by automatically detecting and deactivating any plugin that throws a PHP fatal error or parse error during activation or update.

It’s designed to ensure a smooth admin experience by intercepting site-breaking issues at the moment they occur.

?? Key Features

• Detects PHP fatal errors, parse errors, compile errors, and core errors.
• Automatically deactivates the faulty plugin during activation or update.
• Displays a clear admin notice indicating which plugin caused the issue and what type of error it triggered.
• Lightweight: No database usage (uses transients), no impact on performance.
• No settings page — works silently in the background for your safety.

?? Limitations

• Only handles PHP errors — does not detect:
  • JavaScript errors
  • CSS conflicts
  • Plugin conflicts that don’t produce fatal errors
• Only handles errors during activation or update (not runtime issues).
• Designed for administrator-level users who manage plugin changes.
