A WordPress plugin that enables LaraDumps debugging functionalities for your WordPress project when WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE is set to 'local'.

Installation

  1. The plugin is installed in the wp-content/plugins/laradumps-for-wordpress/ directory.

  2. Install the LaraDumps Core dependency by running Composer in the plugin directory:

    cd wp-content/plugins/laradumps-for-wordpress/
composer install

  3. Activate the plugin through the WordPress admin interface.

Configuration

When the plugin is activated, it automatically creates a laradumps.yaml configuration file in the plugin directory with the following settings:

  • workdir: Set to your WordPress root directory
  • project_path: Set to the LaraDumps for WordPress plugin directory
  • port: Default LaraDumps port (9191)
  • host settings: Configured for local development

The configuration file is only created if it doesn't already exist, so your custom settings won't be overwritten.

Usage

The plugin automatically loads LaraDumps when:

  • WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE is set to 'local'
  • The Composer autoloader exists
  • The LaraDumps Core class is available

Once loaded, you can use LaraDumps functions like ds() anywhere in your WordPress code for debugging.

  • No performance impact in production or other environments
  • Follows WordPress coding standards
