In your WordPress Admin, go to the Add New Plugins page 2. Search for: Show Current Template 3. Show Current Template should be the first result. Click the Install link. #### The Old Way 1. Upload the plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress ## FAQ ### Does this plugin work with block themes? No. This plugin is useless when using block themes, and it shows a message that this plugin is useless when using block themes. ### I don’t see the toolbar. Is the Toolbar (Show Toolbar when viewing site) option in your profile page is checked? You can find your profile page is in your WordPress admin -> Users -> Profile. ### I don’t see the current template file name in the toolbar. Do you logged in as “Administrator”? Other role users like “Editor” can’t see the file name. If your WordPress is multisite, only super admin can see the file name. ### I don’t think this plugin is working properly. Please try below: * Activate one of the default themes. Now the plugin work properly? Then it means there may be a compatibility issue between your theme and this plugin, so let me know your theme’s name and where I can get it. * Try to stop all plugins other than this plugin. Now the plugin work properly? Then it means there may be a compatibility issue between one of those other plugins and this plugin, so let me know those plugins names and where I can get them. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8c027130d9e0a90df77585124140dd72a5aa536596cb007246527170cefe5a22? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-10592/)󠁿 [Md Abdullah Al Fahad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mabfahad/) 25 October 2025 Awesome!!!
