Debug Mode Toggle

Toggle WP_DEBUG-style logging from the admin for faster troubleshooting.

Overview

Turns WordPress debug constants on or off from the admin by writing a managed block in wp-config.php for WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY. Defaults favor logging without displaying errors on screen. Warns about exposing errors on production and detects pre-existing defines outside the module block. Also known in the product UI as Quick Debug Toggle.

Who is this for?

Developers troubleshooting staging and production issues faster
Agencies enabling debug logs temporarily on client sites
Anyone who wants debug switches without hand-editing wp-config
