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

WP Developer Assistant is a WordPress plugin developed by a WordPress developer for WordPress developers.

  • Have you ever needed to run a query when you didn’t have access to phpMyAdmin or SSH?
  • Don’t you hate it when you need to upload a plugin, theme, or other file and don’t have FTP access?
  • Have you ever wondered where that action or filter hook gets called?
  • Want to enable errors while hiding them from everyone else?
  • Wouldn’t it be great if you could output a full listing of PHP global variable values on each page so debugging would be easier?
  • Ever wanted to modify one of those serialized options?
  • Would you like to quickly see a full list of defined constants?

It’s thoughts like these that caused me to make this plugin. WP Developer Assistant is the first WordPress plugin of its kind. It essentially is a toolkit that makes life as a WordPress developer easier.

Features

  • Customizable enabling of PHP errors that only show for your user.
  • Display values of PHP’s built-in global variables (_POST, _REQUEST, _FILE, _ENV, etc) on each page.
  • Easily modify Options table values, including serialized data.
  • View a full list of all the add_action, do_action, add_filter, and apply_filters function calls complete with information on function names, priorities, number of accepted arguments, source file name, and file line number.
  • Quickly execute queries with the Run Query tool.
  • Show phpinfo().
  • View a comprehensive list of all the defined named constants, their current value, the declared value, the source file name of the definition, and the file line number of the definition.
  • Quickly and easily upload files to any place inside your WordPress installation. The uploader will even automatically extract archives to the destination directory.
