Display Environment Type

توضیحات

WordPress 5.5 introduced a way to differentiate between environment types (development, staging, production). This plugin shows your site’s environment type in the admin bar and the dashboard “At a Glance” widget.

More info about the feature

To gain additional control — for example, setting the environment or other values from the WP admin (when wp-config.php is writable) — consider installing our other plugin 0 Day Analytics.

Recommended Plugins

  • 0 Day Analytics — a powerful plugin for sites that need more insight into errors and runtime behavior. It includes a Cron manager, a Transient manager (database-backed), DB manager, Snippet manager, Mail manager, Plugin Version Switcher available from the Plugins page and many more.

سوالات متداول

Can I set a custom color for my environment types?

Colors are intentionally fixed to avoid confusion. If colors were configurable, they’d need to be identical across all related servers to remain consistent.

What happens if I define custom environment types?

Custom environment types were briefly supported in WordPress 5.5 but were removed in 5.5.1. This plugin does not support custom types.

Why don’t non-administrators see the environment type on the front end?

By default, the environment type is shown only to users with administrative capabilities. This avoids exposing a prominent colored indicator to regular subscribers and other non-admin users.

For additional control, use the det_display_environment_type filter hook. Example:

function rt_det_display_filter( $display ) {
    // Disable the environment type display for user ID 2.
    return ( get_current_user_id() !== 2 );
}
add_filter( 'det_display_environment_type', 'rt_det_display_filter' );

Five stars for Display Environment Type! Huge thanks to the author for creating this gem. The plugin might be small, but it’s incredibly useful, doing exactly what you’d expect without any unnecessary clutter. No settings hassle – just install and get to work seamlessly.

I switch a LOT between production sites and a clone made for testing, when creating a real staging environment is not possible. More than once, I have unintentionally made changes to the wrong instance of the site. That’s no fun. Display Environment Type makes it very clear what I’m working on, when I should pay extra attention. Recommended.

Have you ever accidentally added test content to a productive website? You can now define a constant in your wp-config.php to distinguish between development, staging and productuion sites. To make this visible, this lean but helpful plugin adds an indicator to the admin bar and dashboard widget which helps to avoid mistakes as adding “Lorem ipsum” to your productive site. 🙂 Plugin works like a charm. No settings needed. Install, activate and feel happy.
