Creating a Custom Logger

Step-by-step guide for building a logger that hooks into WordPress actions/filters and logs events to Simple History.

Architecture Overview

WordPress hook fires
  -> Logger::loaded() registers callback
    -> Callback builds context array
      -> $this->info_message('message_key', $context)
        -> Stored in DB with logger slug + message key
          -> get_log_row_details_output() formats for display

Step 1: Create the Logger Class

Create a PHP file in loggers/ following the naming convention class-{name}-logger.php.
