Displays: * Header * Thumbnails * The Loop (content) * Footer * Included template parts * Highlight script, link and style elements To remove **all** registered scripts and styles add `?remove-scripts` to the URL. All these scripts and styles will be listed at the bottom of the footer as HTML comment. This way it is possible to detect non-WordPress script printing. If you are not an administrators add `?view-source` to the URL to activate Frontend Debugger. Notice: This plugin uses regular expressions and `eval()` to get the current template apart. TODO: sidebar, search-form. The mini control panel contains: * Header, Thumbnails, The Loop, Footer, Included files anchors * Toogle button for line numbers * Toggle button for line wrapping * Toggle button for showing line ends * Button for script and style highlighting From the second click on the `Highlight` button loops through (scrolls to) all scripts and styles. The control panel’s state is kept in your browser’s [localStorage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage). Development of this plugin goes on on [GitHub](https://github.com/szepeviktor/frontend-debugger). Please contribute by sending PR-s implementing my TODO-s. ## Screenshots * [[ * The Loop. * [[ * The Header. * [[ * Included files. ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1.
