FAQ

Can I set custom color for my environment types?

The colors are currently fixed. This was done to avoid possible confusion. If the colors were user-configurable, they would need to be set up exactly the same on all related servers.

What will happen when I define custom environment types?

Custom types were originally added in WordPress 5.5, but they were removed in 5.5.1. This plugin no longer supports them.

Why is there no display on the front-end of the site, for logged-in users with the admin bar enabled?

There’s no display for non-admin users. The reasoning behind this is that in most cases, you’d probably not want to bother logged-in subscribers with a bright-colored box on their admin bar. For the same reason, the environment type is also hidden for subscribers in wp-admin.

For additional control, you can use the ‘det_display_environment_type’ filter hook:

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.
