Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a settings page?

No settings page — just install and go. All information is displayed in the admin bar for logged-in admins.

Why can’t i see the template information on the front-end?

The plugin displays its information in the WordPress admin bar. If the admin bar is disabled in the front-end (via user settings, code or another plugin), then no output will be displayed.

Can I extend or customize the details shown?

Yes. Developers can use the current_template_insights_details filter hook to add or modify the debug info. See the plugin’s GitHub repository for an example.

Does this work with Full Site Editing (block) themes?

Yes. With block (Full Site Editing) themes, WordPress uses a core PHP file (template-canvas.php) as a wrapper for block templates. The plugin displays the actual PHP template in use. (Future versions may add a more descriptive message for block themes.)

Can I change the background color of the admin bar node?

Yes. You can override it with custom CSS. See the plugin’s GitHub repository for an example.
