Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
, production in one window and development in another window.
And if you’re like me, you have also unwittingly edited content in the production environment thinking you were doing so in the development environment or vice versa.
If so, then this plugin is for you!
It adds an indication of the current environment to the Admin Bar that is easier to see than examining the URL in your browser’s address bar.
Out-of-the-box behavior
Out-of-the-box, 2 different environments are recognized:
Production
The node added to the Admin Bar has a red background (i.e., Stop/be careful with any changes you make).
If neither a staging, QA, nor development environment is detected, then Prod is displayed in the Admin Bar.
Development
The node added to the Admin Bar has a green background (i.e., Go ahead, it is safe to make changes).
If WP is running on localhost (either a loopback IP address or LAN IP address), then Local displays in the Admin Bar.
If WP_DEBUG is defined & true, then Dev displays in the Admin Bar.
Customizing the out-of-the-box behavior
Two additional environments are supported, but cannot be automatically detected:
Staging
The node added to the Admin Bar has a yellow-ish background (i.e., Slow down, changes might make it into the production site).
For information on how to enable this environment, see the documentation.
QA
The node added to the Admin Bar has a blue background (i.e., “It’s cool”, changes you make won’t affect the production site).
For information on how to enable this environment, see the documentation.
