Clarke Template Debug

v0.2.1 · by Clarke Website Design Ltd

Shows the active theme template file in the toolbar or a small panel, for chosen administrators only.

About this plugin

Clarke Template Debug shows which theme template file WordPress used for the current page, with its theme folder
(for example my-child-theme/page.php), so you can tell a child theme’s copy from the parent theme’s. Templates that
come from a plugin, such as WooCommerce, are shown from wp-content (for example plugins/woocommerce/templates/...).

With a block theme it shows the block template, such as twentytwentyfour/page, and says when that template has been
changed in the Site Editor.

  • Show it in a small panel at the bottom of the page, in the toolbar at the top of the page, or both.
  • Only administrators can see it, and you can limit it to chosen administrators by email address, so visitors and
    other users never see it.
  • It’s never shown in the Customizer preview or on printed pages, and nothing extra loads for visitors.
  • On right-to-left sites (such as Arabic or Hebrew) the panel sits in the bottom left corner.

Pro

Clarke Template Debug Pro, from clarkedesign.co.uk, adds:

  • Every other theme file the page used – header, footer and template parts – in the panel and the toolbar.
  • Click a file name to copy it.
  • Put the panel in any corner of the page.
  • A close button for the panel.
