HOW TO USE BUGFU WITH WORDPRESS
Call the log static method from wherever you are within the WordPress PHP code
<pre><code><?php /* WORDPRESS CODE HERE */

/* Call it with no arguments to only output some backtrace info */
BugFu::log();

/* Call it with a string argument to output that string content */
BugFu::log($my_string_content);

/* Call it with a non-string argument to output the structured
 representation of that argument - it uses var_export() */
BugFu::log($my_object-array-variable);

/* Call it with the second optional argument set to "false"
 to turn off the backtrace info (which is on by default) */
BugFu::log($my_content, false);
</code></pre>

BugFu Console Debugger

Good plugin

Really great plugin. I'm surprised it does not seem to be well known under developers.

Must have for developers

Very useful !

This is a nice plugin to use in concert with the Chrome dev console. It is easy to use and works well.  Thank you for making it available.

Debug Bar Cron adds information about WP scheduled events to a new panel in the Debug Bar. This plugin is an extension for 
Debug Bar and thus is dependent upon Debug Bar being installed for it to work properly.
Once installed, you will have access to the following information:
<ul>
<li>Number of scheduled events</li>
<li>If cron is currently running</li>
<li>Time of next event</li>
<li>Current time</li>
<li>List of custom scheduled events</li>
<li>List of core scheduled events</li>
<li>List of schedules</li>
</ul>

Debug Bar Cron

This has been great for checking if WordPress's scheduled events are firing. Good for checking if you need to setup a real cron job or if that real cron job is failing. Very clear presentation.

Great for checking if scheduled events running

Debug Bar Cron adds a new panel to Debug Bar that displays information about WP scheduled events.
