I couldn't do without it

Helpful tool


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

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
