Simply Show Hooks vs View Admin As

Up until now the way theme and plugin developers find where to hook into with their add_action() and add_filter() functions is either to search through the WordPress code base, or find find a reference to the hook in the codex. What Simply Show Hooks does is give you a simpler way to see these hooks by displaying them in-line on the page that you are on. All that’s left to do then is copy the hook you need, and paste it in to your add_action and add_filter functions like this: add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_enqueue_scripts_action’ ); add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘my_the_title_filter’ ); I made this plugin so I could find WordPress hooks quicker and I use it all the time, so I thought I’d share it and see if it could help others. Enjoy! Please note that in odd cases, due to the nature of actions and filters, the plugin may display a hook in place that disrupts the display of your site – in which case we always display the ‘Hide Hooks’ button so you can switch it back off. This won’t disrupt the look of you site to anyone but you so don’t worry.

The ultimate User switcher and Role manager This plugin will add a menu item to your admin bar where you can change your view in the WordPress admin. Switch to other users without the need to login as that user or even switch roles and temporarily change your own capabilities. When you’re viewing as a different user, you can also change this user’s preferences; like screen settings on various admin pages. With the “Role defaults” module you can set default screen settings and metabox locations for roles and apply them to users through various bulk actions. It also features a “Role manager” module to add, edit or remove roles and grant or deny them capabilities. Overview / Features Switch between user accounts Edit this user’s screen preferences and settings Switch between roles Temporarily change your own capabilities (non-destructively) View your site as an unregistered visitor Switch language/locale on backend and frontend Make combinations of the above view types Easily switch back anytime Completely secure (see Security below) Do all the above without logging out!

It’s not working! / I found a bug! Please let me know through the support and add a plugins and themes list! 🙂 Security This plugin is completely safe and will keep your users, passwords and data secure. For more info see item 7 at FAQ! Developer notes This plugin will only be useful for admins (network super admins or regular admins). It will not add functionalities for other roles unless you specifically apply custom capabilities for those users. Also keep in mind that switching to users that have equal roles is disabled. (regular admins to regular admins + super admins to super admins) I’ve created this at first for myself since I’m a developer and often need to see the outcome on roles which my clients use. So, when you are developing a plugin or theme that does anything with roles or capabilities you can use this plugin to easily check if everything works. No more hassle of creating test users and constantly logging out and in anymore! This plugin is also useful to support your clients and/or users. For example; make screen display presets of the edit and overview pages before you let them log in.
