Debug Suite

Debug Suite is a developer toolkit that puts the tools you normally reach for over SSH right inside wp-admin: run PHP against the live site in a browser console, read the debug log without touching FTP, watch outgoing mail, and browse auto-generated docs for every REST endpoint your site exposes. Everything is one click away from the admin bar, on any admin screen.

🚀 Key Features

-

Query Console — a PHP REPL in your browser

• Run PHP against your live WordPress runtime, right from the admin bar. No SSH, no WP-CLI, no scratch plugin files.

• Monaco editor with syntax highlighting, plus a split output pane that captures return values, dump() output and execution time.

• Save frequently used snippets and re-run them in one click; recall what you ran before from the local history.

-

Debug Console wherever the admin bar is

• A “Debug” item in the admin bar opens a full-screen overlay with the Query Console and the Debug Log as two tabs — in wp-admin and on the front end alike.

• Stay on the page you are debugging — no navigating away, and the overlay remembers whether you left it open.

-

Smart Debug Log Viewer

• Read your WordPress debug logs without ever leaving the dashboard or using FTP.

• Switch between the raw file and a parsed view; filter by severity (warnings, notices, errors, fatals) and search.

• Auto-discovers the log files it can find, loads long logs incrementally, and clears them in one click.

-

Debug Constants Management

• Toggle WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG from Settings — Debug Suite writes them straight into wp-config.php for you.

• No FTP, no code editor, and no guessing which debug constants are currently active on the site.

-

Outgoing Email Log (optional)

• Never wonder if a user received a receipt or notification again.

• Keep a complete history of every email sent by your WordPress site.

• Quickly view recipients, subject lines, contents, and delivery status at a glance.

-

Interactive API Documentation (on by default, switchable in Settings)

• Explore your site’s REST API endpoints at /debug-suite/api/docs through a beautiful, easy-to-read visual interface.

• Automatically generates OpenAPI documentation for every registered REST namespace, with bearer-token auth support.

• Perfect for helping developers and external services understand how to connect to your site.

-

Lightning-Fast & Customizable

• Only use what you need! Turn optional tools on or off with a single click in Settings.

• Optional features create their database tables only when you activate them — nothing is provisioned up front.

• Modern React/TypeScript interface, loaded only on Debug Suite screens, so your admin stays fast.

-

Built to extend

• PHP: service container, Hookable services and a debug_suite_localized_data filter for third-party integrations.

• JavaScript: register your own admin pages through the debugSuite.routes filter and inject UI via Slot/Fill.
