SF Admin Bar Tools

A WordPress plugin that adds some small development tools to the admin bar.
Requires php 5.6 and WordPress 4.7.

What this plugin does

The plugin adds a new tab in your admin bar with simple but useful indications and tools.

  • Displays the number of queries in your page and the amount of time to generate the page.
  • Displays the php memory usage and php memory limits (constants WP_MEMORY_LIMIT and WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT).
  • displays the php version and WP version.
  • Displays WP_DEBUG, SCRIPT_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY, and error reporting values.

In your site front-end

  • Lists the template and all template parts used in the current page (template parts added with get_template_part()). Compatible with WooCommerce’s templates.
  • $wp_query: this will open a lightbox displaying the content of $wp_query. Click the lightbox title to reload the value, click outside the lightbox to close it.

In your site administration

  • Admin hooks: lists some oftenly used hooks (like admin_init). The indicator to the right of the line tells you how many times the hook has been triggered by a callback. A “P” means the hook has a parameter: hover it for more details. Click a hook (on its text) to auto-select its code, for example: click admin_init to select add_action( 'admin_init', '' );.
  • $current_screen: displays the value of 4 properties of this object: id, base, parent_base, parent_file.
  • $...now: displays the value of the well-known variables $pagenow, $typenow, and $taxnow.
  • On a user profile page, $userdata: : this will open a lightbox displaying the user’s data.

You can decide who’s gonna use this plugin (go to your profile page for all the settings). This way, the plugin’s items won’t show up to other users (your client for example).
Also, a new menu item Code Tester will appear. There you are able to do some tests with your code.
