An essential dev tool

WP Console is an essential tool for quickly testing code and getting data about a site’s posts, post meta, and taxonomies. Plus, the author’s attention of bug-fixes is heroic.

Perfect tool for developers.

Wp console is the perfect tool for developers. Debugging sites, manipulate data on database. Almost like anything a developer can do on local setup.
