The fastest and easiest way to switch debug mode on/off and view PHP info directly
from the admin.

Toggle debug mode ( `<?php define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); ?>` ) and view PHP version
and info ( `<?php phpinfo(); ?>` ).

**How?**

Simply activate the plugin to enable and deactivate the plugin to disable them when
you’re done debugging.

**Why?**

_There are a dozen other debugging plugins that already do this (more or less), 
so why create another?_

Well, I already tried them all, and they just felt clunky and unnecessarily overcomplicated.
I got tired of having to manually switch debug mode on and off and these other plugins
didn’t offer a simple way to do that without also adding a bunch of other bells 
and whistles that I found to just be in the way, so I made something simpler.

I am surprised no one has reviewed this plugin, it seems to be a pretty useful one.
Thanks
