WordPress Error class.
Container for checking for WordPress errors and error messages. Return WP_Error and use is_wp_error() to check if this class is returned. Many core WordPress functions pass this class in the event of an error and if not handled properly will result in code errors.
WP_Error is a class that makes error handling within plugins and WordPress itself much easier.
Instances of WP_Error store error codes and messages representing one or more errors, and whether or not a variable is an instance of WP_Error can be determined using the is_wp_error() function.
Error codes are slugs that are used to identify each error. They are mostly useful when a piece of code can produce several different errors, and you want to handle each of those errors differently.
The error codes used in WordPress are not integers, but strings, with any spaces between words replaced with underscores (example: an_error_code). The error codes used in WordPress are usually based on the error message associated with that code.
Please refer source code for the complete lists of methods and properties. Below description may cover some of them.
