Poodle Plugins

<p>This plugin makes it easy to distinguish between your local development site, and your live site.<br />
I created this because I often use a local duplicate of my live site, for development, with the same DB, and the same URL.</p>
<p>I needed a quick & easy way of distinguishing between my live and development sites at a glance. This plugin acheives that in the simplest way possible.</p>
<p>There are settings for colour, positioning and the text displayed on the badge. It is also possible to add a link onto the badge.</p>


WP Dev Flag

<p>Expose a WordPress local web server to the internet ngrok allows you to expose a web server running on your local machine to the internet.<br />
This plugin works by hooking to the start and end of the page creation and capturing it into an output buffer, it then uses the URL from the database for a str_replace, stripping it out before sending back out to the shutdown hook. This means that I can share either the HTTP or HTTPS versions of the ngrok URLs.</p>
<h3>How To Use</h3>
<h3>Step One: Install ngrok</h3>
<p>Download and install ngrok here  <a href="https://ngrok.com/download" title="Download Ngrok" rel="nofollow ugc">https://ngrok.com/download</a></p>
<h3>Step Two: Install WP-NGROK</h3>
<ol>
<li>Upload <code>wp-ngrok.zip</code> folder to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress</li>
<li>
<p>run command in your terminal</p>
<p>~/ngrok http -host-header=localdomain.test 8888</p>
<h3>Step Three: Creating the localtunnel</h3>
<p>Send through the host name of the site that we use locally as well as the port number and this will then direct the traffic to my local site. This works whether we had created it, or using something like MAMP Pro to set this up for me.</p>
<p>~/ngrok http -host-header=sitename.localhost 8888</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Once ngrok is up and running I will be presented with the display that you can see below</p>
