<h2>What <code>wpfy debug</code> does</h2>
<p dir="auto"><code>wpfy debug</code> runs structured checks across:</p>
<ul>
<li>Docker Engine and Compose plugin</li>
<li>The Traefik edge proxy</li>
<li>Every managed site (runtime, scaffold, HTTP readiness)</li>
<li>Certificate state where relevant</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">It returns structured facts — not raw command dumps — so the output is safe to share once secrets are redacted.</p>
<h2>Run it</h2>
<pre><code class="language-bash">wpfy debug
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">For a specific site:</p>
<pre><code class="language-bash">wpfy site status example.com
wpfy site info example.com
</code></pre>
<h2>What to post when asking for help</h2>
<ol>
<li>The exact command you ran.</li>
<li>What you expected vs. what happened.</li>
<li>The <code>wpfy debug</code> output, <strong>redacted</strong>:<pre><code>$ wpfy debug
[ paste here, replace any password/token/key with &lt;redacted&gt; ]
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>OS and Docker version:<pre><code>$ docker --version
$ lsb_release -a
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>A redacted <code>.env</code> if the issue is site-specific.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">See <a href="/topic/3">How to ask a good wpfy support question</a> for the full template.</p>
<h2>Other useful commands</h2>
<ul>
<li><code>wpfy info</code> — aggregate host + site operational facts</li>
<li><code>wpfy log example.com</code> — per-site log inspection</li>
<li><code>wpfy secure</code> — security audit baseline</li>
<li><code>wpfy maintenance</code> — maintenance mode controls</li>
</ul>
<h2>Common fixes</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Site not reachable:</strong> <code>wpfy debug</code> → check Traefik + site runtime checks → <code>wpfy site status example.com</code>.</li>
<li><strong>SSL failed:</strong> DNS/IP preflight — see the <a href="/topic/__SSL_TID__">SSL FAQ</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Restore failed:</strong> the archive must validate before the runtime stops. <code>wpfy debug</code> after a failed restore to confirm state.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Never paste</h2>
<ul>
<li>Database passwords (MariaDB, Redis)</li>
<li>API tokens</li>
<li>Anything from <code>.env</code> (redact the whole file)</li>
<li>SSH private keys</li>
<li>ACME account keys</li>
</ul>
