Normally WP_DEBUG can be set to true using FTP or hosting panel.

If you have Admin rights on a customer’s site, WP_DEBUG can be set to true to see errors via the Developer plugin.

This appears to be no longer possible in Developer – we are looking for an alternative.

We asked for help on WP Answers at http://discourse.wpanswers.co/t/372 and got the SO Turn On Debug plugin as a solution. We are currently testing this.

You can still use the Developer plugin to check if WP_DEBUG can be set to true.

Make sure you remove WP_DEBUG when you finish – especially if this is a live site.
