Installed Install-Package Elmah.MVC from Nugate in MVC 5 Code first .
I have been researching for hours to fix this but cannot get it to work. ELMAH does not log errors to the DB. I have went over multiple resources such as the links at the bottom but have had no success. I have the package installed, I have it pointing to the DB string name ErrorLog, I have the web.config elmah setting set to Elmah.SqlErrorLog, Elmah pointing to the connection string name , but it still errors does not store in db . Any help?

Since you are using the Elmah.MVC NuGet package, you need to follow the guide from that package. Check out https://github.com/alexbeletsky/elmah-mvc for details.
With that said, <g class="gr_ gr_133 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="133" data-gr-id="133">you</g> config looks fine (I've validated it with this web.config validator for future help troubleshooting). The problem probably is, that something else is handling <g class="gr_ gr_219 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep" id="219" data-gr-id="219">exceptions,</g> before ELMAH is invoked. Do you show a custom error page, declare your own HandleError-like attribute, or similar? I recommend you to read through this: Demystifying ASP.NET MVC 5 Error Pages and Error Logging.
