This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/franz-josef-kaiser/current-admin-info/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

On Packagist as wecodemore/current-admin-info:

composer require wecodemore/current-admin-info
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Displays info about the current admin screen and its globals, contextual hooks, etc.

The info appears in new tabs in the »Contextual Help«-panel in the upper right corner of an admin screen.

The update to 2.0 took me ~4 hours to write (including Readme, Wiki, Screenshots, etc.). I hope you appreciate the time that goes into providing freely available code. If you do, then just hit the GitTip button above or donate something via my site. Thank you.

Currently available info tabs:

  • Contextual hooks - all hooks that have »context«, the $hook_suffix in their name.
  • Set Globals: Arrays/Objects are hidden and shown on click (js).
  • Current screen info: Everything that the $current_screen object contains and isn't private.
