Works perfectly with WP 7.0 🥳
Don't read too much into that “tested up to” tag. My practical tests, including tests with the official Plugin Checker, watching the console, in environment with quite strict cross-origin rules etc., WP Debugging is still the one simple debug log enabler and watcher, that just works, also with WordPress 7.0 It's very basic, indeed, and that is a good thing. The last thing you want, when debugging WordPress, is for the debug plugin itself to throw a bunch of errors or load a lot of external resources affecting performance. So still, highly recommended.

Absolutely essential for debugging – saved me countless times!
I've been using the WP Debugging plugin since 2024, and it has been a lifesaver. The error log feature alone helped me track down several issues that would have taken hours to find manually. The fact that it integrates with Query Monitor is a nice bonus too. If you do any WordPress development or troubleshooting, just install this plugin. Five stars, no hesitation.

Another great debugging plugin
Yet another one of your plugins that I love and use all the time! Thank you. (Side note: is there a place to buy you a coffee or donate for your time?)
