<h3>Details</h3>
<p>The Rewind WP website interacts with the Rewind WP plugin to create a snapshot of your website and restore it after a certain duration has passed.</p>
<p>This plugin requires registering for API key at <a href="https://rewindwp.com" rel="nofollow ugc">https://rewindwp.com</a>.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>You will need to have WP-CLI and the ZipArchive PHP modules installed on your server to use this plugin.</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Doing a site backup zipped to more than 2 GB may fail</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Backing up a database of more than 2 GB may fail</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Settings page may not always appear with the correct information — the plugin is pulling in the database snapshot which may not always<br />
reflect the accurate settings, which are actually being pulled from the Rewind WP server</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Occasionally, you may see error messages of database tables missing ~ don’t worry about it ~ the plugin may have been<br />
attempting to load in the database and if you are loading mid-page, you may have loaded a database without all of the data<br />
fully implemented</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>“Publishing failed. Invalid post ID.” This message occurs when you are attempting to do something, such as write a post, page, or upload a<br />
media file  and the database is reset. The postid is no longer a valid ID since it is no longer in the database.<br />
You will need to create a new post completely and ensure you allow enough time for posts to be created.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Additional Info</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Any inactive plugins and themes will be deleted upon rewind</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The free version of the plugin does not backup and cannot restore physical assets including media files, themes, or plugins</p>
<ul>
<li>In other words: if a theme or plugin is deleted, once the data is restored, it will think it still has the files and<br />
attempt to load them, but give error messages</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Configuration information is sent to Rewind WP for official authenticity, instead of relying on the WordPress database</p>
</li>

Rewind WP

Automatically rewind your WordPress website.

Scott Reilly

<p>Designers and developers know that it can sometimes be confusing and frustrating to determine the exact template being utilized to render the currently displayed page in WordPress. Sometimes page or category specific templates exist, or a page/post has been set by the post author to use a particular template, or the current theme doesn’t employ certain templates causing WordPress to fall back to others.</p>
<p>This plugin relieves that aggravation by assisting designers and developers by displaying the template being used to render the currently displayed page in WordPress. This can be shown in one or more of the following methods:</p>
<h4>Admin bar</h4>
<p>By default, the theme-relative path to the theme template file used to render the page is shown in the admin bar. The settings page for the plugin, at ‘Design’ -> ‘Reveal Template’, allows you to control and configure this particular method. Note: even if enabled by the setting, the admin bar entry also only appears if the admin bar is showing and if the user has the ability to see the revealed template.</p>
<h4>Site footer</h4>
<p>By default, the theme-relative path to the theme template file used to render the page is shown in the site’s footer. The settings page for the plugin, at ‘Design’ -> ‘Reveal Template’, allows you to control and configure this particular method. Note: even if enabled by the setting, the footer output only appears if the theme follows the recommended practice of calling the <code>wp_footer()</code> template tag at some point and the user has the ability to see the revealed template.</p>
<h4>Widget</h4>
<p>A widget named “Reveal Template” is made available which can be used to display the theme template file used to render the page in any widget location.</p>
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>A shortcode called ‘revealtemplate’ is made available which can be used in post/page content to display the theme template file used to render the page. Currently it supports two possible attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li>‘admin’ : Can either be 1 or 0 to indicate if the template name should be revealed to admins only. 1 means to admins only, 0 to all visitors. The default is 1.</li>
<li>‘type’ : The template path types. Must be one of ‘absolute’, ‘filename’, ‘relative’, or ‘theme-relative’. Read the documentation for more information on what each of these mean.</li>
</ul>
<p>Examples: <code>[revealtemplate type="absolute"]</code>, <code>[revealtemplate type="filename" admin="0"]</code></p>
<h4>Template Tag</h4>
<p>A template tag is also provided which can be used to display the theme template file used to render the page.</p>
<pre><code><?php c2c_reveal_template(); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>By default, <code>c2c_reveal_template()</code> will echo the template name. To simply retrieve the template filename rather than displaying it:</p>
<pre><code><?php $template = c2c_reveal_template( false ); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>The template tag also takes a second argument which be can be one of the following: absolute, relative, theme-relative, filename. This determines the path style you’d like reported. If not specified, it uses the default defined in the plugin’s settings page.</p>
<p>Examples of path types:</p>
<ul>
<li>“absolute” : /usr/local/www/yoursite/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/single.php</li>
<li>“relative” : wp-content/themes/yourtheme/single.php</li>
<li>“theme-relative” : yourtheme/single.php</li>
<li>“filename” : single.php</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin is primarily intended to be activated on an as-needed basis.</p>

<h3>Template Tags</h3>
<p>The plugin provides one template tag for use in your theme templates, functions.php, or plugins.</p>
<h4>Functions</h4>
<ul>
<li><code><?php function c2c_reveal_template( $echo = true, $template_path_type = '' ) ?></code><br />
Formats for output the template path info for the currently rendered template.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>$echo</code> (bool)<br />
Optional. Echo the template info? Default is true.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>$template_path_type</code> (string)<br />
Optional. The style of the template’s path for return. Accepts: ‘absolute’, ‘relative’, ‘theme-relative’, ‘filename’. Default is ”, which causes the function to use the template path type configured via the plugin’s settings page.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code><?php //Output the current template<br />
c2c_reveal_template( true, 'theme-relative' );<br />
?></code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code><?php // Retrieve the value for use in code, so don't display/echo it.<br />
$current_template = c2c_reveal_template( false, 'filename' );<br />
if ( $current_template == 'category-12.php' ) {<br />
// Do something here<br />
}<br />
?></code></p>
</li>
</ul>


Reveal Template

Great plugin, out of the box it shows the rendered template in the footer. This has just become part of my toolbox.

Where has this been all my life!

Reveal the theme template file used to render the displayed page, via the admin bar, footer, widget, shortcode, and/or template tag.
