WPFalcons String Finder & Debug Toolkit is a modern debugging plugin for WordPress developers and site maintainers.

  • String Finder: Search for specific strings across entire plugins, themes, or your whole wp-content directory.
  • Code Optimizer: Audit plugins and themes for common compatibility issues, missing security checks, and leftover debugging statements.

Logs are written to wp-content/uploads/wpfalcons-toolkit/debug.log and displayed in a polished React-powered admin UI designed for fast troubleshooting.
