This plugin adds a new wp_die handler which includes:

  • A permanent back button
  • A friendly message to help non-developers
  • Formatted output for arrays and objects
  • If WP_DEBUG is enabled, a stacktrace
  • A filter for adding a logo

Usage

Adding a logo is as simple as:

add_filter( 'better-wp-die-image', function () {
    return 'http://placekitten.com.s3.amazonaws.com/homepage-samples/200/286.jpg';
});

The logo will appear to the right at the top of the wp_die output.
