LocalDev Switcher allows you to seamlessly toggle between production plugins and their local development versions.
Usage:
<ol>
<li>
Place your local dev version of a plugin in:
wp-content/plugins/localdev-{plugin-slug}
</li>
<li>
You should now have two directories containing the same plugin inside your <code>/plugins/</code>:
<ol>
<li><code>/plugins/your-plugin/</code> – Loaded from VCS/WordPress.org Plugins/etc.</li>
<li><code>/plugins/localdev-your-plugin/</code> – Your local development version</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Use LocalDev Switcher to toggle between the version-controlled and local versions. The toggle UI appears in the plugin meta row.</li>
</ol>
LocalDev Switcher prevents double-loading and ensures only the desired version is active.
