In your wp-content
folder create a new folder called mu-plugins
and in that folder create a php file with the error level you want, for example:
//Turns off notices
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE)
If you are using PHP 5.5 +, you will get deprecated noticed for WordPress’s mysql_* functions, you can turn them off using:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT);
Or for something really robust, which happens to be the case a lot.
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~( E_DEPRECATED | E_USER_DEPRECATED | E_USER_NOTICE | E_STRICT ));
