WP Debugging vs Script Report

Script Report is a minimal and focused debugging tool for WordPress developers. It helps you audit and visualize JavaScript and CSS dependencies on any admin or frontend page. When something loads out of order, loads twice, or slows down a page, Script Report helps you see exactly what is happening. Use the Script Report link in the admin navbar on any page to open a complete breakdown of scripts and styles, their load order, dependencies, and origin. Why Use Script Report? Developers often ask: Why is this script loading here Who enqueued this style Why is my dependency not working Is something loading twice What is affecting performance on this page Script Report gives you clear answers instantly. What You Can Inspect JavaScript View a complete breakdown of: Registered scripts Enqueued scripts Total required scripts Load order File size Footer or header loading Inline scripts Enqueued by source Required by dependencies CSS Inspect styles with the same detailed structure: Registered styles Enqueued styles Total required styles Load order File size Dependency relationships Enqueued by source Required by dependencies Script Modules WordPress 6.5+ Audit registered and enqueued script modules along with their dependency chains. Views Switch between two views: List view Clean, structured overview of all scripts and styles. Tree view Visual representation of dependency chains. Circular or missing dependencies are clearly flagged. Filtering Quickly filter by handle or source to narrow down large lists. Filtering works client side for fast inspection.

This plugin sets the following debug constants in wp-config.php on plugin activation and removes them on plugin deactivation. Any errors will result in a PHP Exception being thrown. Debug constants per Debugging in WordPress. Default settings: define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true ); define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true ); define( 'SAVEQUERIES', true ); @ini_set( ‘display_errors’, 1 ); is set when the plugin is active. WP_DEBUG is set to true when the plugin is first run, thereafter it can be turned off in the Settings. The Settings page allows the user to set the following. define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); // Default on initial plugin installation. define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false ); // Default when not declared is true. define( 'WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER', true ); // WordPress 5.2 WSOD Override. When the plugin is deactivated best efforts are made to re-add pre-existing constants to their former state. When the plugin is activated the default settings and any saved settings are restored. This plugin uses the wp-cli/wp-config-transformer command for writing constants to wp-config.php. Debug Quick Look from Andrew Norcross is included with this plugin to assist in reading the debug.log file. If you already have this plugin installed you should delete it when WP Debugging is not active. Query Monitor and Debug Bar plugins are optional dependencies to aid in debugging and troubleshooting. The notice for installation will recur 45 days after being dismissed. If you have a non-standard location for your wp-config.php file you can use the filter wp_debugging_config_path to return the file path for your installation. The filter wp_debugging_add_constants allows the user to add constants to wp-config.php. The filter returns an array where the key is the name of the constant and the value is an array of data containing the value as a string and a boolean to indicate whether or not the value should be passed without quotes. $my_constants = [ 'my_test_constant' => [ 'value' => 'abc123', 'raw' => false, ], 'another_test_constant' => [ 'value' => 'true' ], ]; The value option contains the constant’s value as a string. The raw option means that instead of placing the value inside the config as a string it will become unquoted. The default is true. Set as false for non-boolean values. Example: add_filter( 'wp_debugging_add_constants', function( $added_constants ) { $my_constants = [ 'my_test_constant' => [ 'value' => '124xyz', 'raw' => false, ], 'another_test_constant' => [ 'value' => 'true' ], ]; return array_merge( $added_constants, $my_constants ); }, 10, 1 ); This will create the following constants. define( 'MY_TEST_CONSTANT', '124xyz' ); define( 'ANOTHER_TEST_CONSTANT', true ); Development PRs are welcome against the develop branch on GitHub.
