Local Development

Description

Places development notice for plugins or themes that are in local development. Notices are placed on the plugins page and the themes page. Prevents updating of selected plugins and themes.

  • Automatically adds plugins and themes under version control.
  • Automatically allows for using a local file server.
  • Allows for bypassing the WordPress 5.2 WSOD Shutdown Handler.
  • Add a warning color to admin bar when running under localhost. Default is on.
  • Add a git host icon to the plugins page. Default is off. No option if GitHub Updater is running.
  • Allows setting of WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE in wp-config.php.

Pull Requests are welcome against the develop branch on GitHub.

Requires PHP 5.6 or greater.

I’m using MAMP to develop a plugin locally. When MAMP is properly set up and running, it’s easy not realize if the website in the browser is running locally or remotely. Installing the “Local Development” plugin makes it easy to see via the green highlight in the admin bar along with the word “local” in it. Simple, visual and effective. Thanks!

This can prevent a potential disaster if you work locally. In my past I have made changes to live site by mistake. NO MORE!!! Thanks to this plugin.
