Simple & Great Learning Tool
by Saurabh·4 years ago

It helps get access to a site’s error log, even for lay users without contacting web hosts or filesystem access. Really useful in debugging in support.

Also useful as a teaching/learning tool for basic technical debugging too.

Still Works Great on WP 5.8.2
by William·4 years ago

Thank you for this great plugin which saves time on backing up wp-config.php and turning on debug mode. Eliminates mistakes which might otherwise be introduced when manually changing wp-config.php and allows faster debugging.

Still works
by Wombat Plugins·5 years ago

Even though updates have been a while (at least at the time of writing this), the plugin still works well and serves its purpose.

Просто ужас, а не плагин
by anna888·6 years ago·1 reply

С активацией плагина перекосило весь сайт окончательно.
Не помогло даже его удаление с сайта. Все записи в админке стали из иероглифов.
Хорошо, что получилось из резервной копии на хостинге сайт восстановить, а то слало как то очень хреново от увиденного.

Essential part of a debugger’s toolkit
by HelgaTheViking·6 years ago·1 reply

This plugin has helped me rescue many client sites when they can’t figure out how to enable WP_DEBUGon their own.

I know it hasn’t been updated in forever, but it is still working for me as of WordPress 5.3.
