If WP_DEBUG is not active it shows WP_DEBUG strike through in the admin footer and if it’s active it show WP_DEBUG in orange color. This helps to identify in one second if WP_DEBUG is active on a site or not. It can be used alone or together with the [“Server IP & Memory Usage Display”](https://wordpress.org/plugins/server-ip-memory-usage/) and/or the [“Display MySql version”](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-mysql-version/) plugin. #### What can I do with this plugin? This plugin displays if WP_DEBUG is active (`define('WP_DEBUG', true);` in the wp- config.php configuration file) in the admin footer. If WP_DEBUG is not active it shows WP_DEBUG strike through. If it’s active it show WP_DEBUG in orange color. #### What ideas is this plugin based on? We have had some requirements to add the information if WP_DEBUG is active and some other information to the [Server IP & Memory Usage Display](https://wordpress.org/plugins/server-ip-memory-usage/) plugin. As we want to keep this plugin as simple as possible and without settings page, we decided to create this small plugin, which can be used alone or together with the [“Server IP & Memory Usage Display”](https://wordpress.org/plugins/server-ip-memory-usage/) and/or the [“Display MySql version”](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-mysql-version/) plugin. #### System requirements PHP version 5.6 or greater. #### Debug status display Plugin in your Language!
