Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Hi there, thanks for the ticket!

 Replying to [ticket:56035 galbaras]:
 > Consolidation of all messages to one log file. I sometimes see the same
 message in error_log and wp-admin/error_log. Sometimes, I see admin
 messages only in error_log, and it's often a hassle cross-referencing
 issues that may occur on the front-end, but are an effect of some admin
 issue.

 whether they are written somewhere else as well or not.

 I think it depends on how error logging is set up on a particular web
 host: per directory, per site, etc.

 I believe this can already be addressed without any core changes by
 defining the `WP_DEBUG_LOG` constant, which logs to `wp-content/debug.log`
 by default, but also allows a custom path to be specified.
