Built with a modular architecture, it provides a clean, dark-mode overlay that helps you analyze what is happening under the hood of your WordPress site. **Key Features:** * **Dumps:** Tired of cluttering your frontend with `var_dump` or `print_r` breaking the layout? Use our helper function `cu_dump()` to capture variable data cleanly and display it inside the debug panel without affecting your site’s design. * **Log Viewer:** Don’t want to log in to your server via FTP just to check errors? View the realtime contents of your `debug.log` file and clear it instantly directly from the toolbar. * **ACF Fields Viewer:** Working with ACF Blocks or Options pages? Stop guessing the array structure. Instantly inspect clean, readable data for current Post Meta, Global Options, and specific Gutenberg Blocks without the internal metadata noise. * **Hooks:** Debugging the event-driven architecture? Search for any Action or Filter hook to see a list of all attached callbacks, their priorities, and exactly where they are defined in the code. * **Rewrites:** Permalink headaches? Test any URL against your active rewrite rules to see exactly which rule matches, what query variables are parsed, and why you might be getting 404 errors. * **Globals:** Wondering which template is rendering the current page? Need to check active PHP variables, memory usage, or `wp-config.php` constants? This tab gives you a complete snapshot of the current environment. * **Inspector:** Your central search engine for WordPress internals. Quickly inspect the raw value of any database Option (`get_option`) or interactively test specific hooks and rewrites without writing temporary code. * **Registry:** A comprehensive manifest of your system. View all scheduled WP- Cron events (including overdue status) and use the “Shortcode Detective” to find the exact file and line number where a shortcode is defined. * **Assets:** Wondering what scripts and styles are loading on the current page? Get a quick, organized list of all enqueued CSS and JavaScript files to debug dependencies. * **Mails:** Need to verify if WordPress is actually sending emails? Inspect the headers and content of every email sent via `wp_mail()` during the current request. * **SQL Monitor:** Analyze database queries on demand. Toggle recording only when you need it to inspect raw SQL, identify slow queries, and spot duplicates without slowing down your site permanently. * **Tools:** A suite of one-click utilities for developers. Flush rewrite rules, clear Transients (cache), and send test emails to verify SMTP configuration instantly. **Security & Performance** The tool is only visible to administrators (`manage_options` capability). ## Capturas * [[ * **Dumps Tab** – The main view showing formatted variable dumps captured via ` cu_dump()` during execution. * [[ * **Globals** – Inspection of current request data, including `$_POST`, `$_GET`,` $_SERVER`, some wp-config constants and Cookies. * [[ * **Inspector** – Easily check any options from your WordPress database. * [[ * **Tools** – Administrative utilities to flush rewrite rules, manage Transients, and send test emails. * [[ * **SQL Monitor** – Real-time analysis of executed database queries with a toggle to enable recording only when needed. ## Instalación 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/cu-debug-tool` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. **Crucial Step:** Open your `wp-config.php` file and add the following line: define(‘ CU_DEBUG’, true ); 4. The debug bar will now appear at the bottom of your site for logged-in administrators( only on frontend!). ## Preguntas frecuentes ### I installed the plugin, but the bar is not visible. Why? For security reasons, this plugin requires an explicit constant to be defined. Please ensure you have added `define( 'CU_DEBUG', true );` to your `wp-config.php` file. Also, ensure you are logged in as an Administrator. Finally, keep in mind that this is a **frontend-only** tool — you will not see any options in the backend Admin menu. ### Does the SQL Monitor slow down my site? SQL recording requires WordPress to save query history, which uses memory. By default, this is OFF. When you click “Start Recording” in the SQL tab, the plugin sets a temporary cookie that enables this feature only for your session. ### Can I check which file registered a shortcode? Yes! Go to the “Registry” tab. The plugin uses PHP Reflection to attempt to locate the exact file and line number where the shortcode callback function is defined. ### Why can’t I see anything in the Log tab? If you want to see the logs, make sure you have the following options enabled in your `wp-config.php` file: 1. `define('WP_DEBUG', true);` 2. `define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);` 3. `define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);` Ensure that your debug.log file is in the default location (`wp-content/debug.log`). ### Why is there nothing in my Dumps tab? The Dumps tab is empty by default because it only displays data that you explicitly capture. To see data here, you must use the helper function `cu_dump($variable)` within your theme or plugin code. It works similarly to `var_dump()`, but instead of breaking your layout, it safely displays the formatted data inside the debug panel. Example usage: \$my_data = [‘id’ => 123, ‘status’ => ‘active’]; cu_dump( \$my_data); ## Comentarios ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3abc75da355495b113aac6e884eea81244f1093af4c3994a95ea1d9af894e34a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-10630/)󠁿 [adam0x](https://profiles.wordpress.org/adam0x/) 3 de Febreiro, 2026 Wow, this plugin is awesome! The dump function, debug log preview, and preview of the most important data without jumping to the WP panel can save a lot of time during development. I recommend it!
