Display Environment Type

You can now define a constant in your wp-config.php to distinguish between development, staging and productuion sites. To make this visible, this lean but helpful plugin adds an indicator to the admin bar and dashboard widget which helps to avoid mistakes as adding "Lorem ipsum" to your productive site. :)

Plugin works like a charm. No settings needed. Install, activate and feel happy.

Nice little helper
