Our website is an active community website, and we can’t expose the Admin Bar on the front end, even for a few minutes. In order for this plugin to function, the Admin Bar must be enabled on the front end, for at least the Administrator level user. The only way we could do this, is by disabling the Hide Admin Bar plugin, and installing another plugin which hides the Admin Bar to everyone except for Administrator user. We don’t have the luxury of exposing our site for any amount of time, and we’re not going to spend the time cloning our site to a test sandbox and removing and re-adding some Admin Bar plugin that will work … JUST so we can use this DEBUG THIS plugin.
I hope everyone understands. The plugin is probably great. But it’s fundamentally unusable on a seriously deployed website.
