Frontend Debugger

Only for development!

Displays:

• Header
• Thumbnails
• The Loop (content)
• Footer
• Included template parts
• Highlight script, link and style elements

To remove all registered scripts and styles add ?remove-scripts to the URL. All these scripts and styles will be listed at the bottom of the footer as HTML comment. This way it is possible to detect non-WordPress script printing.

If you are not an administrators add ?view-source to the URL to activate Frontend Debugger.

Notice: This plugin uses regular expressions and eval() to get the current template apart.

TODO: sidebar, search-form.

The mini control panel contains:

• Header, Thumbnails, The Loop, Footer, Included files anchors
• Toogle button for line numbers
• Toggle button for line wrapping
• Toggle button for showing line ends
• Button for script and style highlighting

From the second click on the Highlight button loops through (scrolls to) all scripts and styles.

The control panel’s state is kept in your browser’s localStorage.

Development of this plugin goes on on GitHub. Please contribute by sending PR-s implementing my TODO-s.
