Warning: This installation method might not be suitable for complex WordPress projects. The plugin installed this way will be self-contained and include all of the required dependencies for itself and rollbar/rollbar-php library. In complex projects, this might lead to version conflicts between dependencies and other plugins/packages. If this is an issue in your project, we recommend the “Advanced” installation method. For more information why this might be important for you, read Using Composer with WordPress.

Through [wpackagist](https://wpackagist.org/) (if you manage your project with Composer) *recommended*

This is a recommended way to install Rollbar plugin for advanced projects. This way ensures the plugin and all of its’ dependencies are managed by Composer.

  1. If your WordPress project is not managed with Composer yet, we suggest looking into upgrading your WordPress: Using Composer with WordPress.
  2. In your composer.json add wpackagist-plugin/rollbar to your require section, i.e.:
    "require": {
    "php": ">=5.5",
    ...,
    "wpackagist-plugin/rollbar": "*"
    }
  3. Issue command composer install in the root directory of your WordPress project.
  4. In Plugins Installed plugins find Rollbar and click Activate underneath.
  5. Log into your Rollbar account dashboard.
  6. Go to Settings Project Access Tokens.
  7. Copy the token value under post_client_item and post_server_item.
  8. Navigate to Tools Rollbar.
  9. Enable PHP error logging and/or Javascript error logging depending on your needs.
  10. Paste the tokens you copied in step 7 in Access Token section.
  11. Provide the name of your environment in Environment. By default, the environment will be taken from WP_ENV environment variable if it’s set otherwise it’s blank.
  12. Pick a minimum logging level. Only errors at that or higher level will be reported. For reference: PHP Manual: Predefined Error Constants.
  13. Click Save Changes.

Rollbar should update this plugin because it causes PHP deprecation warnings. I emailed them half a year ago, and they still haven’t updated it.

rollbar-php version 0.18.0 is now available. (This project is currently using version 0.15.0). Set this up to track my errors (roller is reasonable free for personal projects). Works great. Roller says that a new version is available so would be good to see that shipped with this plugin.
