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.
