Plugin implements the awesome dBug class created by Kwaku Otchere for use in WordPress plugin debugging
As of April 2026, wp-dBug is a WordPress dbug plugin with 60 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 2 reviews. It has been downloaded 6.2K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.7+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2010. Last updated 13 years ago — may have compatibility concerns.
This plugin is basically a wrapper for the excellent dBug (http://dbug.ospinto.com) class for PHP debugging, written by Kwaku Otchere..
Instead of var_dump or echo, you can call wp_dbug( $variable ) to get clear, dynamic debug output of strings, arrays, or objects.
Thanks to @borkweb, the plugin is now compatible with the WP Debug Bar plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-bar/) for extra debugging goodness!
