Developer

A plugin, which helps WordPress developers develop.

This plugin will help you optimize your development environment by making sure that you have all the essential tools and plugins installed.

1. Upload the developer folder to your plugins directory (e.g. /wp-content/plugins/)
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
