This plugin is an extension for [Debug Bar](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-bar/), but it is also can work in standalone mode (as admin tools page). Note: this plugin not able to track `add_rewrite_rule` function calls, for a reason this function is untraceable. Once installed, you will have access to the following information: * Number of existing rewrite rules * List of rewrite rules * List of available filter hooks that can affect rewrite rules. * List of filters that affects rewrite rules. * Ability to search in rules with highlighting matches. * Ability to test url and see what rules can be applied to it. * Ability to flush rules directly from debug bar panel/tools page. ## Screenshots * [[ * Testing url for matches – show matched rules and actual matches * [[ * Searching in rules list alongside with filtering and highlighting occurrences * [[ * Interface of Rewrite Rules Inspector without Debug Bar ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4cedbca78d5e9004eaecb770baea85601cbc2f3e8ab8000472c3debe38d073dc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-plugin-1703/)󠁿 [Rasso Hilber](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nonverbla/) December 4, 2020 This plugin makes it so easy to debug and even discover WP rewrite rules. Thanks a lot!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/81d630fcb9bf029ce670c6ccafdece5d6ba04467bc20f4b937828e1173f9cb90? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Super helpful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/super-helpful-91/)󠁿 [ladislavdurchanek](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ladislavdurchanek/) October 28, 2020 Ability to quickly display all rules that match a URL just saved me a lot of time. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ad2416016ff4e7cf1db402302010a97bd014bcc4bdb48acf5200ae605a6b70f1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Extremely Useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/extremely-useful-136/)󠁿 [mgfotiades](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mgfotiades/) October 8, 2020 I was setting up rewrite rules for the first time and had set some breakpoints to take a look at the existing rules when I thought, “there must be a plugin for this.” And there was. Not only does it let you examine the existing rules, but you can also test urls to determine which rules match and the resulting query args. I ran into one small issue as a result of some of my debug settings and the developer fixed it and deployed a new version quickly. It’s joined the few plugins in the boilerplate site I use as the starting point for new sites. Thanks, Oleg. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7ef2dbb0e981b5a4e7638ae7aaf8f40f2553de38504ca8f2a33c5485e1c1a8be? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Informative and convenient](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/informative-and-convenient/)󠁿 [Gleb Kemarsky](https://profiles.wordpress.org/glebkema/) January 14, 2020 Good visual presentation of data. There is more information and it is more conveniently organized than in the Rewrite Rules Inspector, for example. Automatically integrates into the Debug Bar, if installed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/698744f644cc210eecfbfdf9ac878362b72f2b5eb65e5e50a531f4daa1802702? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[nice tool](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-tool-66/)󠁿 [miaugav](https://profiles.wordpress.org/miaugav/) March 25, 2018 Really nice tool for working with rewrite_urls array and permalinks customizations.
