About this plugin
Development Assistant is a comprehensive toolkit designed to streamline the development process and enhance support capabilities within WordPress. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a novice WordPress user, this plugin provides essential functionalities to manage debugging, diagnose issues, and facilitate smoother development workflows.
Features
- Status and Actions in the Toolbar: Review WP Debug and Support User status and run their available actions from the Development Assistant menu in the WordPress toolbar, both in wp-admin and on the front end.
- Debugging Made Easy: Enable WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY modes directly from the WordPress admin panel without the need to manually edit the wp-config.php file. Configuration changes are validated, backed up, and rolled back if they cannot be verified; unsupported syntax or filesystem restrictions are reported without claiming success.
- Create Support User in One Click: Create a support user with a single click to provide temporary access to your WordPress environment. This feature simplifies the process of sharing debugging information with developers or support teams, enabling them to diagnose and resolve issues more effectively. You can control after how many days the user will be auto-deleted. After creating a user, you can quickly copy the credentials to the clipboard, or share them via email (optionally adding a message).
- Plugin Conflict Resolution: Simplify the process of identifying and resolving plugin conflicts. Quickly compare the performance of active and inactive plugins, and temporarily disable or enable plugins to isolate issues without disrupting your entire plugin ecosystem.
- Download Plugins: Download plugins directly from the WordPress admin panel’s plugin view. Streamline your workflow by easily obtaining plugin files for offline storage, manual installation, or testing in other environments and sandboxes. This feature facilitates seamless testing of plugins in various environments, allowing for thorough evaluation and development iterations.
- Reset: Effortlessly undo any changes made by the plugin to restore your WordPress environment to its original state. This feature deletes all plugin settings and data from the database, resets debug constants to their pre-activation states, deletes the debug.log file (if it didn’t exist before activation), and activates any temporarily deactivated plugins.
