WP Inspect

Description

The WP Inspect plugin visually annotates pages with the actions & filters (hooks) invoked during the request life cycle.

Developers can inspect specific html elements, such as the page heading, to determine which filters & actions ran to generate “the_title(),” for example.

Major features of WP Inspect include:

  • Built-in lucene search engine
  • Toggle hook tracking among header, body, footer & off-canvas contexts
  • Toggle actions, filters & off-canvas hook tracking
  • Ability to ignore hooks by tag
  • Ability to watch/track hooks by tag
  • View hook details such as hook function signature, hook descriptions & syntax-highlighted data structures

How I wish the developer would either fix this or remove it (why doesn't WordPress pull plugins that aren't maintained!?!). Read the support forum: there are horror stories. Fortunately I had multiple browser windows open when I activated this plugin. My site broke immediately and the window I was working in wouldn't let me navigate anywhere. (I was able to deactivate plugin in another window. Whew!) The "plugin homepage" has been taken down and the domain name is for sale. The developer's Twitter page hasn't had a post in almost 2 years. And his website seems to have no content. AND his developer page at WordPress has had no action in a few years. Seems like there's no future for this plugin. ;-(

Throws a server 500 error on my wordpress site after installing. Maybe I'll change my review again if its working.

The plugin crashes a site. To fix it, remove the catalog of the plugin in wp-content/plugins catalog.
