This plugin incorporates the pear php_debug library into wordpress.
I started creating a new website around wordpress and noticed that there was no way to quickly access debug information so I integrated this class
into wordpress for quick easy debugging when developing or experiencing problems on your wordpress website.
Please feel free to ping me on twitter if you have a question.
This plugin unlike most operates from within a class.
There are several options which can be set in the admin section
- Debug Status: Overall
this option allows you to enable and disable debugging entirely
- Display Debugging for: Guests
This option allows you to enable debugging when no user is logged in
- The rest are a list of roles found in the sytem, eg. editor, contributor, administrator
For each you have the following options: Admin & Front End, Admin Only, Front End Only, Disable
- The plugin shows queries that were run by wordpress
Please note that some queries run before the plugin is initialized. to ensure most if not all queries get recorded see step 4 in installation section. v1.4.1 shows not only the query but the time taken by the query and the function which called the query.
You can easly add debug information to the debugger by making use of several functions
<?php
//For advanced use.
//Direct access to instance of debugger
$oDebug = wp_pear_debug::get();
$oDebug->add($variable); //add variable to debug
$oDebug->dump($object,$varname); //var_dump an array or object. $varname optional
$oDebug->queryRel($info); //add query related info
$oDebug->error($info); //add user error
//more options available in the pear::php_debug documentation
`//With v1.2 you have access to several wrapper functions`
`//Enough for most people`
`wp_pear_debug::add();`
`wp_pear_debug::dump();`
`wp_pear_debug::error();`
`//if you run this query with wpdb`
`//It will probably appear anyways.`
`wp_pear_debug::query();`
?>
Debug information appears in a neat panel controlled by javascript. The options expand and collapse. The debug panel also has
a close button to completely remove the debug panel.
Note that the debug bar floats at the top right and will not disrupt your layout.
To ensure layout stability the plugin is hard coded to use only the HTML Div Renderer
displaying server and response varables.
- Request
- Response
- Setings
- Globals
- Php
- Files
- Database queries
- Execution time
- Errors and messages
- Link to w3c validator
With v1.2 you can add debug information via shortcode from within your post. [wp_pear_debug]foo bar[/wp_pear_debug] or you may use:
[wp_pear-debug foo="bar" foo1="bar2"]
Internationalization support has been added with version 1.4.6. A rough spanish translation has been provided in the hope that someone can take it and create a better translation.
