FAQ

How do I add entries to the Console?

To add entries to the console, insert the following line of PHP anywhere in your code:

apply_filters('console', 'Enter something to debug here');

You can also add an optional log level like this:

apply_filters('console', 'Enter something to debug here', 'error');

The available log levels are: debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical, alert, and emergency.

How do I use the Profiler?

To use the profiler, insert the following lines of PHP before and after the code you are profiling:

Before:

apply_filters('trace:start', 'Enter a description of what you are profiling here');

After:

apply_filters('trace:stop');

How do I enable the plugin for non-administrators?

add_filter('blackbar/enabled', 'is_user_logged_in');
