Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Safe First Run: Activating the plugin does not automatically change WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY, SCRIPT_DEBUG, SAVEQUERIES, or existing log paths
  • Explicit Debug Controls: Review current debug constant values and update them only through intentional UI actions
  • Modern Debug Log Viewer: View, search, filter, group, copy, and clear debug log entries from a compact WordPress admin interface
  • Readable Timeline Rows: Scan log entries with severity labels, occurrence counts, plugin/source hints, exact timestamps, and copy-as-JSON actions
  • Stack Trace Analysis: Format PHP stack traces and database call chains so long fatal errors are easier to read
  • Last Fatal Snapshot: Capture the latest fatal error during shutdown and show it in the log screen when wp-admin is available again
  • Large Log File Preview: Open the current debug log file inside a modal and safely read the latest 1 MB of large files
  • Smooth Upgrade Behavior: Upgrades preserve existing constants and custom debug log locations instead of replacing your current configuration
  • Query Inspector: Optionally examine database queries when SAVEQUERIES is enabled, including SQL, caller, execution time, and stack trace details
  • WP-CLI Style Terminal: Optionally run guarded WordPress-style commands directly from the browser with command history and auto-completion
  • Terminal Settings: Enable or disable terminal access and database commands from a dedicated settings screen
  • Safe Mode: Optionally isolate plugin conflicts by keeping selected plugins active and restoring the previous state when Safe Mode is turned off

  • Great plugin

    Using this plugin for more than 3 years, and its my favourite one to debug!

    Jose Varghese

  • a good tool, simple and practical

    Essential for easily finding the source of a bug in debug mode ! Thank you for this plugin !

  • Powerful & clean

    Powerful tool for debugging with a clean and logical user interface. Absolutely helpful!

    Martin Sauter

  • Much improved over time

    The plugin used to work very well, but with the latest update the debug log cannot be cleaned. This has been reported as a bug 2 months ago with no response and no other update. This is why I'm giving the plugin 2 stars. There are other plugins that work better. --- EDIT --- Recently I tested the plugin again and it has improved by a lot. I see new functions and - so far - zero bugs. Well done. I improve my rating. Keep up the good work.

  • I love this plugin

    I was getting tons of errors in my database and being able to easily look at the debug logs and turn debugging on and off from the admin panel is so much faster than messing with my file manager. Thank you!

  • 🚨 🙌 hands down the best WordPress Debugging Plugin

    If you’re tired of cracking open wp-config.php every time something hiccups, this plugin is the fix. One‑click toggles for WP_DEBUG (and friends) ✅, a readable log viewer with filters + highlighting 🔎, and a SAVEQUERIES inspector that makes tracking slow queries way less painful ⏱. Two killer features: Safe Mode that disables everything except what you choose—perfect for “is it the plugin or the theme?” moments 🧪 An in‑browser, WP‑CLI‑style terminal and DB tools that save me trips to SSH when I’m on the move 🖥⚡ Bonus points for stack trace viz, hook inspector, and email alerts when new errors pop ✉. It’s the kind of utility you don’t realize you need until it saves your afternoon. Bottom line: clean UI, thoughtful features, no file‑editing drama. Runs smooth on my client sites and my own projects here in Wisconsin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
