The “Debugger & Troubleshooter” plugin provides essential tools for WordPress site administrators to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently. It offers a dedicated section in the WordPress dashboard that displays comprehensive site health information and powerful debugging toggles.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Troubleshooting Mode: Activate a unique, session-based “Troubleshooting Mode” for your current browser session. This means any changes you make are temporary and only visible to you. This mode allows you to:
<ul>
<li>Simulate Plugin Deactivation: Selectively “deactivate” plugins. The plugin’s assets and code will be disabled for your session only.</li>
<li>Simulate Theme Switching: Preview any installed theme, while the public-facing site continues to use the active theme.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>User Role Simulator: View your site as any other user or role (e.g., Subscriber, Editor) to test permissions and content visibility. This is session-based and includes a safe “Exit” button in the Admin Bar.</li>
<li>Live Debugging: Safely enable <code>WP_DEBUG</code> with a single click from the admin dashboard. Errors are logged to <code>debug.log</code> without being displayed on the site, and you can view the log file directly in the plugin’s interface.</li>
<li>Comprehensive Site Information: Get a quick, organized overview of your WordPress environment in collapsible cards. This includes detailed PHP, Database, and Server information, a full list of all themes and plugins with their status, and important WordPress constants.</li>
<li>Copy to Clipboard: A one-click button allows you to copy all the site information, making it incredibly easy to share with support forums or developers.</li>
<li>Safe Debugging & Cache Bypassing: All troubleshooting actions are session-based. The plugin automatically attempts to bypass caching when Troubleshooting Mode is active, ensuring your changes are reflected instantly.</li>
<li>User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive dashboard interface makes it easy to access all features.</li>
<li>Admin Notices: Clear notices alert you when Troubleshooting Mode is active.</li>
</ul>
This plugin is an invaluable tool for developers, site administrators, and anyone who needs to debug WordPress issues without risking site downtime or affecting user experience.
