Does this plugin work on all hosts?

It works on most hosts, but your wp-config.php file must be writable by PHP for toggling to work.

Is it safe to use on production?

We recommend only enabling debug mode on staging or development sites. Debug mode can expose sensitive information and impact performance.

What permissions do I need?

The plugin requires write access to wp-config.php. Your web server user must have write permissions for the file.

This is a life saver!

I really love it as it saves a lot of time for me! I can now easily turn the debug log on/off without modifying the wp-config file.

Let me share a past experience. I tried to disable the debug log display on one of my clients' sites, but unfortunately I had missed the file's formatting pattern and I didn't notice it. After saving the file, the whole site crashed! I had to fix it via the hosting's file manager. Though it was fixable, but I had to invest more time in it.

Now, I can easily do this without having the fear of breaking a site just for my formatting mistakes! Thanks for building this plugin!
