Beschrijving
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.
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.

FAQ
-
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_typefilter 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' );
