Issues Tracker vs Variable Inspector

Issues Tracker allows you view and search WordPress logs, receive security advice, track 404 errors, and view your server settings. We’ve designed the Issues Tracker plugin with accessibility and simplicity in mind. Say goodbye to the hassle of reading and searching through the debug.log file on your server. With the Issues Tracker, you can access and search logs directly within your CMS, making them easily readable and searchable. Additionally, our plugin provides email notifications for various error events and covers more issues than a typical WP health checker. Enhance your website’s security and performance with these key features: Debug Log Viewer Effortlessly view notices, warnings, and errors from the WordPress debug.log file in a user-friendly table format. Utilize advanced search options (by error type, line, and file) and pagination for quick and convenient log management. WordPress 404 Errors Identify and list all 404 (page not found) errors on your website, and configure email notifications for these events. For example, receive email alerts for every 404 event. Advisor Receive expert recommendations on server and site settings to boost your website’s speed and security. Get notified via email if your server’s condition deteriorates. Server info Keep track of all your server settings in one centralized location. Issues Tracker automatically parses the phpinfo() output, providing you with comprehensive server information. No need to dig into the server configuration files manually – everything is neatly displayed for you. Website Checks Our plugin evaluates your website based on various criteria, including: – Checking if the database username used in wp-config.php is widely used. – Verifying the security of the database password in wp-config.php. – Examining the state of the WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY constant. – Ensuring you are not using the default database prefix. – Verifying SSL (https) encryption status. – Checking the PHP version for updates. – Confirming that the WordPress version matches the HTML code. – Checking if search engines allowed to index a website …and many more checks in future releases. Dashboard Monitor all your website’s performance and security issues conveniently from one central location. Access log file entries, server checks, and 404 error reports in a single dashboard.

Variable Inspector allows you to easily inspect your PHP $variables in a visually clean manner at a central dashboard in wp-admin. It aims to be an easy and useful enough dev and debug tool. It provides a single-line code to inspect your variable (see “How to Use” below). Nothing is shown to site visitors nor being output on the frontend, and the $variable content is nicely formatted for review using var_dump(), var_export() and print_r() on the inspector dashboard in wp-admin. It’s a real time-saver for scenarios where Xdebug or even something like Ray is not ideal or simply an overkill. For example, when coding on a non-local environment via tools like Code Snippets, WPCodeBox, Scripts Organizer or Advanced Scripts. Additionally, because it is a regular WordPress plugin, you simply install, activate and use without the need for complicated configuration. What Users Say “Huge time-saver when working with PHP variables.” ~Jeff Starr “Works great! Love this thing.” ~Josh “Every developer need it. You can debug easily every variable.” ~Pexle Chris “All I need. Enough to test the function of snippets. Works flawless.” ~@tesig “It does what it does very well, and doesn’t try to do everything.” ~@swb1 How to Use Simply place the following line anywhere in your code after the $variable_name you’d like to inspect: do_action( 'inspect', [ 'variable_name', $variable_name ] ); If you’d like to record the originating PHP file and line number, append the PHP magic constants __FILE__ and __LINE__ as follows. do_action( 'inspect', [ 'variable_name', $variable_name, __FILE__, __LINE__ ] ); This would help you locate and clean up the inspector lines once you’re done debugging. Give Back A nice review would be great! Give feedback and help improve future versions. Github repo to contribute code. Sponsor my work with as little as USD 1 monthly or one-time. PRO Version If you need something more versatile for larger, more complex projects, these PRO features might come in handy: vi( $variable ) inspector to replace the do_action() above and automatically includes the file path and line number. Or, use vis( $variable_name, ‘variable_name’ ) when inspecting in/via code snippets plugins (Code Snippets, WPCodeBox, Scripts Organizer, etc.) or custom code module of page builders (Bricks, Oxygen Builder, etc.) dump_print_r and dump_print_tree viewers: both viewers combines var_dump and print_r, with the later allowing for collapsing and expanding data nodes, which is especially useful for inspecting long and complex arrays and objects. kint viewer: an advanced viewer with table view for multi-dimensional arrays, node access path info, capability to search inside variables, pop-up window viewing and advanced info for your complex objects, e.g. available methods and static class properties. Categorize and filter results by color. This, for example, allows you to categorize $variables according to which stage they’re in inside your code. Add counter or notes to inspection results. Another way to tag $variables and provide context for the inspection results. Search filter: easily find certain $variables by name and type. View up to 250 results. The free version is limited to 25 results. Individual and bulk deletion of results. Easily clean up your inspection dashboard from obsolete results you no longer need to reference. You can also select certain variables in bulk. Click here to see a screenshot of the PRO version or see below in the screenshots section.

Great plugin – thank you for the hard work!” ~Tim Dickinson “I used to use Ray locally, I’m also using Xdebug a lot .. if I need to debug some variables, I use Query Monitor.
