LM Studio Logs

A WordPress plugin that imports LM Studio server logs into WordPress as formatted posts with syntax highlighting.

Features:

Troubleshooting

"No log files found"

• Verify LM Studio is installed and has been used
• Check the logs directory path in Settings
• Ensure the directory contains .log or .jsonl files

"Directory not found"

• Use the full path or ~ for home directory
• Check for typos in the path
• Verify the web server has read permissions

Logs not displaying correctly

• Check that Prism.js is loading (browser dev tools)
• Verify the post has the "LM Studio Logs" category
• Check for JavaScript errors
