I love this plugin
By 
I was getting tons of errors in my database and being able to easily look at the debug logs and turn debugging on and off from the admin panel is so much faster than messing with my file manager. Thank you!
🚨 🙌 hands down the best WordPress Debugging Plugin
By 
If you’re tired of cracking open wp-config.php every time something hiccups, this plugin is the fix. One‑click toggles for WP_DEBUG (and friends) ✅, a readable log viewer with filters + highlighting 🔎, and a SAVEQUERIES inspector that makes tracking slow queries way less painful ⏱.
Two killer features:
- Safe Mode that disables everything except what you choose—perfect for “is it the plugin or the theme?” moments 🧪
- An in‑browser, WP‑CLI‑style terminal and DB tools that save me trips to SSH when I’m on the move 🖥⚡
Bonus points for stack trace viz, hook inspector, and email alerts when new errors pop ✉. It’s the kind of utility you don’t realize you need until it saves your afternoon.
Bottom line: clean UI, thoughtful features, no file‑editing drama. Runs smooth on my client sites and my own projects here in Wisconsin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent tool, great for debugging
By 
This straightforward tool gives you access to the information you need to debug.
Works but has bugs and bad support
By 
The plugin used to work very well, but with the latest update the debug log cannot be cleaned. This has been reported as a bug 2 months ago with no response and no other update. This is why I'm giving the plugin 2 stars. There are other plugins that work better.
Great plugin
By 
Works without having the errors on the front end of your site, you see the errors nicely in the admin area, The user sees nothing
