PLX Multi-Environments manages separate Development, Staging, and Production environments directly from within the WordPress Admin screen.
Once the separate configuration files have been installed and your existing wp-config.php settings have been backed up 
you\’re then free to enter each of your environments database settings. When you push your files between servers you no 
longer need to edit the configuration.
Important: Although the plugin will automatically backup your current settings to wp-config.backup.php, we strongly recommend backing up 
your wp-config.php file before completing the plugin installation.

WordPress 5.5 introduced a way to differentiate between environment types (development, staging, production). This plugin shows your site’s environment type in the admin bar and the dashboard “At a Glance” widget.

To gain additional control — for example, setting the environment or other values from the WP admin (when <code>wp-config.php</code> is writable) — consider installing our other plugin <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/0-day-analytics/" rel="ugc">0 Day Analytics</a>.

Display Environment Type

Have you ever accidentally added test content to a productive website?

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


Five stars for Display Environment Type! 



Huge thanks to the author for creating this gem. The plugin might be small, but it's incredibly useful, doing exactly what you'd expect without any unnecessary clutter. No settings hassle – just install and get to work seamlessly.
