Stop editing wp-config.php every time you need to debug your WordPress site.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Developer Debug Mode lets you toggle all WordPress debug constants directly from your dashboard with beautiful toggle switches. Changes save automatically \u2014 no clicking save buttons, no FTP access needed, no risk of syntax errors in your config file.<\/p>\n\n Every WordPress developer knows the pain:<\/p>\n\n Developer Debug Mode eliminates steps 2-5 entirely.<\/strong> Toggle debug on, find the error, toggle off. Done in seconds.<\/p>\n\n One-Click Debug Toggles<\/strong>\nControl all six WordPress debug constants from a clean, modern interface:<\/p>\n\n Admin Bar Quick Toggle<\/strong> (New in 1.2.0!)<\/em>\nToggle any debug constant directly from the WordPress admin bar \u2014 no need to visit the settings page. Perfect for quick debugging sessions.<\/p>\n\n Built-in Debug Log Viewer<\/strong>\nView, search, download, and clear your debug.log without leaving WordPress:<\/p>\n\n Auto-Save Technology<\/strong>\nChanges save instantly as you toggle. No save button, no page refresh, no waiting.<\/p>\n\n Frontend Debug Warning<\/strong>\nA tasteful notification bar appears when WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY is active, reminding you to turn it off before visitors see error messages.<\/p>\n\n Cross-Tab Synchronization<\/strong>\nToggle debug in one browser tab and watch other open tabs update instantly.<\/p>\n\n Automatic Backups<\/strong>\nEvery change creates a backup of wp-config.php. The plugin keeps the 5 most recent backups, so you can always recover if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n Unlike other debug plugins, we focus on user experience<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n \u2705 Instant toggles<\/strong> \u2014 No save buttons, changes apply immediately\n\u2705 Visual feedback<\/strong> \u2014 Clear status indicators show exactly what's enabled\n\u2705 Admin bar access<\/strong> \u2014 Toggle debug from anywhere in WordPress\n\u2705 Production-safe<\/strong> \u2014 Frontend warnings prevent accidentally exposing errors\n\u2705 Modern design<\/strong> \u2014 Beautiful UI that fits naturally in your dashboard\n\u2705 Lightweight<\/strong> \u2014 No bloat, loads only where needed<\/p>\n\n Not sure what each constant does? Here's a quick guide:<\/p>\n\n WP_DEBUG<\/strong>\nThe master switch. When enabled, WordPress will display PHP errors, notices, and warnings. Required for the other debug constants to work.<\/p>\n\n WP_DEBUG_LOG<\/strong>\nSaves all debug messages to WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY<\/strong>\nShows errors directly on your web pages. Useful during development but never enable on production<\/strong> \u2014 it can expose sensitive information to visitors.<\/p>\n\n SCRIPT_DEBUG<\/strong>\nForces WordPress to use the development versions of core CSS and JavaScript files instead of minified versions. Helpful when debugging scripts.<\/p>\n\n SAVEQUERIES<\/strong>\nStores database queries in a global array for later analysis. Useful for identifying slow queries but adds overhead \u2014 disable when not needed.<\/p>\n\n WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER<\/strong>\nDisables WordPress's \"recovery mode\" so you see the actual PHP fatal error instead of \"There has been a critical error on this website.\"<\/p>\n\n Need help? We offer:<\/p>\n\n Developed with \u2764\ufe0f by Glimbyte<\/a> \u2014 WordPress Development & Support.<\/p>\n\n Special thanks to the WordPress community for feedback and suggestions.<\/p>\n\n Developer Debug Mode does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All settings are stored locally in your WordPress database and wp-config.php file.<\/p>\n\n The optional support contact form (available in the plugin settings) sends data directly to Glimbyte's support team. This data is handled according to Glimbyte's Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Found a bug or have a feature request? We'd love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n Want to help translate Developer Debug Mode into your language? Visit translate.wordpress.org<\/a> to contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. The plugin modifies wp-config.php to add or update debug constant definitions. This is the same thing you would do manually, just automated and safer because:<\/p>\n\n The plugin itself is completely safe. However, be careful with WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY<\/strong> on production sites \u2014 it can expose sensitive error information to visitors.<\/p>\n\n That's why the plugin shows a frontend warning bar when WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY is active. You'll never forget to turn it off!<\/p>\n\n For production debugging, we recommend enabling only WP_DEBUG<\/strong> and WP_DEBUG_LOG<\/strong>, then checking the debug.log file.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin will show a warning message and disable the toggle switches. You'll need to:<\/p>\n\n Some managed WordPress hosts restrict wp-config.php access for security. Contact your host's support for help.<\/p><\/dd>\n Absolutely! Developer Debug Mode manages the debug constants, while Query Monitor and Debug Bar provide additional debugging interfaces. They complement each other perfectly.<\/p><\/dd>\n WP_DEBUG<\/strong> and WP_DEBUG_LOG<\/strong> have minimal performance impact.<\/p>\n\n WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY<\/strong> can slightly slow page rendering if there are many errors.<\/p>\n\n SAVEQUERIES<\/strong> does add overhead because it stores every database query \u2014 disable it when not actively debugging database performance.<\/p><\/dd>\n Three options:<\/p>\n\n Yes! As of version 1.2.0, you can click any constant in the admin bar dropdown to toggle it on\/off instantly. No need to visit the settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes! The plugin works on multisite installations. Each site administrator can manage debug settings for their site. Network-wide settings are not currently supported but planned for a future version.<\/p><\/dd>\n Deactivation:<\/strong> Debug constants remain in wp-config.php at their current values.<\/p>\n\n Uninstall:<\/strong> Plugin options are removed from the database. Debug constants in wp-config.php are NOT removed \u2014 we don't want to accidentally disable debugging you intentionally enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not currently, but this is planned for a future version. All six constants are shown by default as they're the most commonly used for debugging.<\/p><\/dd>\n This usually means one of:<\/p>\n\n Yes! The plugin checks both the standard location (WordPress root) and one directory up (common on some hosts).<\/p><\/dd>\n\ud83c\udfaf The Problem This Plugin Solves<\/h4>\n\n
