Overview

Stop editing wp-config.php every time you need to debug your WordPress site.

Developer Debug Mode lets you toggle all WordPress debug constants directly from your dashboard with beautiful toggle switches. Changes save automatically — no clicking save buttons, no FTP access needed, no risk of syntax errors in your config file.

🎯 The Problem This Plugin Solves

Every WordPress developer knows the pain:

  1. Something breaks on your site
  2. You need to enable WP_DEBUG to see the error
  3. You open FTP/File Manager, find wp-config.php, edit it carefully
  4. Debug the issue
  5. Remember to turn debug off before visitors see ugly error messages
  6. Repeat next time something breaks

Developer Debug Mode eliminates steps 2-5 entirely. Toggle debug on, find the error, toggle off. Done in seconds.
