The fastest and easiest way to switch debug mode on/off and view PHP info directly from the admin.

  • Normally, to enable debug mode, you’d have to manually add the following to wp-config.php: <?php define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); ?>
  • Normally, to view the server’s PHP version and other info, you’d have to manually upload a file with: <?php phpinfo(); ?>

With Debug Switch, this is handled automatically.

How?

Simply activate the plugin to enable and deactivate the plugin to disable them when you’re done debugging.

Why?

There are a dozen other debugging plugins that already do this (more or less), so why create another?

Well, I already tried them all, and they just felt clunky and unnecessarily overcomplicated. I got tired of having to manually switch debug mode on and off and these other plugins didn’t offer a simple way to do that without also adding a bunch of other bells and whistles that I found to just be in the way, so I made something simpler.
