# Check your server info

The Server Info page shows facts about your site and your server. This helps you find a problem, or answer questions from a developer or your host.

Go to `BugTrace → Server Info`. The page has seven tabs.

You can only look at this information. BugTrace does not change anything on this page.

## The seven tabs

| Tab | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| **WP Config** | Your `wp-config.php` file. |
| **HTACCESS** | Your `.htaccess` file. It controls links and redirects on Apache servers. |
| **PHP Info** | Your PHP version and PHP settings. |
| **Database** | Your database name, table prefix, host, charset and a list of all tables. |
| **Cookies** | The cookies your own browser sends to your site. |
| **Transients** | Temporary data that plugins save in the database, and when it expires. |
| **Cron Jobs** | Tasks that WordPress runs on a schedule. |

## WP Config

[![The WP Config tab with the switch Show sensitive values (DB credentials, keys & salts) turned off](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/bugtrace-server-wp-config.webp)](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/bugtrace-server-wp-config.webp)
The WP Config tab.

Passwords are hidden with `********`. BugTrace hides the database user and password, and the keys and salts. Turn on **Show sensitive values (DB credentials, keys & salts)** to see them.

The database name and host are not hidden.

If the file is not there, you see **wp-config.php file not found**.

## PHP Info

This tab shows the full PHP information page. To find a setting, type in the box **Search phpinfo()... (press Enter)**. For example, type `memory_limit` and press Enter.

## Database

[![The Database tab with the database name, prefix, host, charset and collate, and a list of tables](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/bugtrace-server-database.webp)](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/bugtrace-server-database.webp)
The Database tab.

Click a table to see its columns. Use **Search tables...** to find a table.

On a very big database, this tab can load slowly. BugTrace counts the rows of every table.

## Cookies

This tab shows the cookies your browser sends to your site. Login cookies are hidden with `********`. Turn on **Show sensitive values (auth/session cookies)** to see them.

Don't share a screenshot of the Cookies tab. Some login cookies can still show, for example on sites without HTTPS. With a login cookie, someone could log in as you.

## Transients

This tab shows the name, value and expiry date of each transient. Long values have a **View More** link. **No Expiry** means the transient stays until a plugin deletes it.

## Cron Jobs

[![The Cron Jobs tab with the columns Hook, Arguments, Recurrence, Next Run and Action](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/bugtrace-server-cron.webp)](http://localhost/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/bugtrace-server-cron.webp)
The Cron Jobs tab.

This tab shows each scheduled task, how often it runs, and when it runs next. **One-time** means the task runs only once.

BugTrace also checks if WP-Cron works on your site. You may see one of these messages:

| Message | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| **WP-Cron is disabled via DISABLE_WP_CRON constant.** | WP-Cron is turned off in `wp-config.php`. Your host may run cron in another way. |
| **ALTERNATE_WP_CRON is enabled. Cron behavior may differ.** | Your site uses another cron method. |
| **WP-Cron request failed: ...** | Your site could not start WP-Cron. Scheduled tasks may not run. Ask your host. |
| **Warning: PHP default timezone is not set to UTC. This might affect WP-Cron schedules.** | A PHP setting may change when tasks run. |
