Overview
Ever wanted to take a quick look at a theme template file without opening an editor? Or wondered what template files were used to display the current page?
This plugin displays all theme template file names in use for the current page in a toolbar menu. File names are shown in the order they were included. File content is displayed in the footer of your site by clicking a file name.
Only admins and super admins have access to the toolbar menu and file content.
