Really useful in debugging in support. Also useful as a teaching/learning tool for basic technical debugging too. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/285e67163f725bffd86a795c423ab93d0e15f3660b79fd4bd7b31f465d235061? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still Works Great on WP 5.8.2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-works-great-on-wp-5-8-2/)󠁿 [William](https://profiles.wordpress.org/englishanywhere/) November 27, 2021 Thank you for this great plugin which saves time on backing up wp-config.php and turning on debug mode.

Не помогло даже его удаление с сайта. Все записи в админке стали из иероглифов. Хорошо, что получилось из резервной копии на хостинге сайт восстановить, а то слало как то очень хреново от увиденного. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d4015f6437cf56ccff9d0beb2085f38f94e240969384f8301a540d3eee6d33d4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Essential part of a debugger’s toolkit](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/essential-part-of-a-debuggers-toolkit/)󠁿 [HelgaTheViking](https://profiles.wordpress.org/helgatheviking/) December 1, 2019 1 reply This plugin has helped me rescue many client sites when they can’t figure out how to enable WP_DEBUGon their own.
