  • Simply Magnificent

    This is one of the plugins that knowone knows about but it's an absolute legened when it comes to how much it helps me out. Defenetley reccomend this one for debuging, better the query monitor 100%.

  • Amazing! Stung for life!

    This little bugger is awesome! Removed three other plugins and replace it with this one. One, if not, the best PHP debugger around. There were multiple PHP errors that weren't getting caught. This not only allowed me to find the errors quickly, but debug and fix them rather quickly.

  • MUST HAVE

    Don't let the low # of ratings fool you, this plugin is AWESOME and has become my new favorite debugging plugin. I went from DebugBar, to DebugThis, to DebugPress....and I'm quite happy with this plugin. It is part of my "essential tools" I add to every site I develop. Even for someone who does not touch code at all, it can still help you track down errors and potential future errors, including which plugins/parts are the culprits. Perfect for development, troubleshooting, and even for bench-marking/speed-testing. THANK YOU FOR THIS PLUGIN! Easy 5 stars!
