The fastest and easiest way to switch debug mode on/off and view PHP info directly from the admin.
<ul>
<li>Normally, to enable debug mode, you’d have to manually add the following to wp-config.php: <code><?php define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); ?></code></li>
<li>Normally, to view the server’s PHP version and other info, you’d have to manually upload a file with: <code><?php phpinfo(); ?></code></li>
</ul>
With Debug Switch, this is handled automatically.
How?
Simply activate the plugin to enable and deactivate the plugin to disable them when you’re done debugging.
Why?
There are a dozen other debugging plugins that already do this (more or less), so why create another?
Well, I already tried them all, and they just felt clunky and unnecessarily overcomplicated. I got tired of having to manually switch debug mode on and off and these other plugins didn’t offer a simple way to do that without also adding a bunch of other bells and whistles that I found to just be in the way, so I made something simpler.

This plugin takes care of WordPress inner comments error handling, and shows comment errors above the form, instead of using the weird grey page with single line error description. All this out-of-the-box.
It also remembers what you’ve typed in. So for example, if you fill in the comment form, and send it and forget required field, it will show the error above the form, and prefills the form with values you’ve submitted so you don’t have to retype them again (which is annoying).
By default, the plugin prints the error in this markup:
<pre><code><div id="formError" class="formError" style="color:red;">
 --error-here--
</div><div class="clear clearfix"></div>
</code></pre>
So it should be quite easy for you to style it in your css file with <code>".formError"</code> or <code>"#formError"</code>, you know the drill :). The default red colour is there just in case you won’t be able to style and since it’s error, red seems appropriate.
By the way, if you’ve customised your comment form with new fields, and you’re using the <code>preprocess_comment</code> hook, with the correct WordPress way of handeling errors, which is using <code>wp_die</code> on error encounter, this plugin will play nicely with that, and display your error messsage above the form as well.
