An error can still show even with the Boolean value false. What is the error message?

It's not about specific error message this time, it's about fact, that error are still shown. But that's not very important thing, just interesting why erros are still shown, even with WP_DEBUG false.

Of course they can still be shown. WP_DEBUG doesn't stop all errors from showing. You would need to adjust your error reporting in your php.ini that is completely seperate from wp_debug to stop all errors from showing. :)

Just look at your php.ini file in your web server. You must be set the error_reporting configuration to always display error message.
