## Description

#### [ ✅ 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐒 b𝓎 𝒫𝓊𝓋𝑜𝓍] :

> • Revised for security to be reliable and free of vulnerability holes.
>  • Efficient,
> not to add any extra load/slowness to site. • Don’t collect private data.

#### Plugin Description

READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE INSTALLING!
 Easily enable/disable WP_DEBUG with one single
click from Admin Toolbar. What’s more, this plugin is failsafe & clever – in case
of errors, it automatically exits the WP_DEBUG mode, thus, you won’t face any problems.

 * Works with `Debug Bar` plugin.

#### NOTE

Plugin modifies `wp-config.php`. However, on some sites, this might cause some conflict
with existing wp-config, causing to interfere the page-load. So, use at your own
responsibility. If unsure, use on test site.

#### Available Options

See all available options and their description on plugin’s settings page.

Installed it, activated it, got a white screen of death. Cannot access FTP from 
where I am so I cannot work on my page now at all. Should have read the reviews 
first. UPDATE: Got access to FTP now and figured out what caused the trouble. Obviously
the plugin didn’t detect that I moved my wp-config.php into the folder above wp-
content (for security reasons). It created a new, empty wp-config.php in the wp-
content folder.

Just loaded this plugin to my site and I’m now facing a screen reading http error
500. First crash on my site, very inconvenient. No access to site/dashboard, nothing.
Now going to my provider to see if they can get my site back online.

When it is active, it even tries to debug the Admin Dashboard, so much so that I
could not access it anymore. Got the dead white screen and had to disable all the
plugins via Cpanel.
