What it does
Turning on WordPress debugging usually means opening wp-config.php, editing constants like WP_DEBUG and SCRIPT_DEBUG, and remembering to switch them back later. This plugin replaces that routine with a one-click toggle for those constants and others. Indicators in the admin bar show your current debugging status, so you can tell at a glance whether debug mode is on. Error logs appear in real time, letting you see PHP errors and warnings as they happen during development.
For diagnosing problems, the plugin brings in the Whoops PHP error handler, which formats error messages in a cleaner, easier to read layout. Symfony VarDumper and Kint handle variable inspection, helping you look through complex data structures. The dump() and trace() functions output variable dumps and stack traces inside the WordPress admin area. It fits naturally into work on custom themes and plugins, and into troubleshooting sessions on development sites.
Best for
- WordPress developers building custom themes and plugins
- Agencies troubleshooting errors on client development sites
- Freelancers who want debugging without editing wp-config.php
