This plugin is great for someone needing to debug their own or another person’s WordPress site. It will collect and display and/or send debug information to an email address provided by the user. 
This is helpful for plugin or theme authors wanting to debug user’s sites.
Some features:
<ul>
<li>Displays system information</li>
<li>Emails system information</li>
</ul>
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
You may provide arbitrary sections, in the same format as the ones above. This may be of use for extremely complicated 
plugins where more information needs to be conveyed that doesn’t fit into the categories of “description” or 
“installation.” Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.
<h3>A brief Markdown Example</h3>
Ordered list:
<ol>
<li>Some feature</li>
<li>Another feature</li>
<li>Something else about the plugin</li>
</ol>
Unordered list:
<ul>
<li>something</li>
<li>something else</li>
<li>third thing</li>
</ul>

Titles are optional, naturally.
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:
<blockquote>
Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.
</blockquote>
<pre><code><?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
</code></pre>

Adds a debug menu to the admin bar that shows query, cache, and other helpful debugging information.
A must for developers!
When <code>WP_DEBUG</code> is enabled it also tracks PHP Warnings and Notices to make them easier to find.
When <code>SAVEQUERIES</code> is enabled the mysql queries are tracked and displayed.
To enable these options, add the following code to your <code>wp-config.php</code> file:
<pre><code>define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true );
</code></pre>
Add a PHP/MySQL console with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar-console/" rel="ugc">Debug Bar Console plugin</a>.
There are numerous other add-ons available to get more insight into, for instance, the registered Post Types, Shortcodes, WP Cron, Language file loading, Actions and Filters and so on.

I couldn't do without it

Helpful tool


A plugin without which I cannot imagine my work. It would definitely be much more difficult.


it must be!


Debug Bar is still listed in WordPress’s own developer documentation as a go-to debugging tool, yet it hasn’t been updated in over a year and throws PHP errors. It’s a clear example of Automattic promoting a tool while failing to maintain it - a pattern that’s become too common. For a plugin they recommend, its neglect is frustrating and undermines developer trust.


Seemingly abandoned

Adds a debug menu to the admin bar that shows query, cache, and other helpful debugging information.
