Installation Instructions
- Install Debug Bar if not already installed (https://wordpress.org/plugins/debug-bar/)

/wp-content/plugins/ directory. Alternatively, you can install directly from the Plugin directory within your WordPress Install.
- Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
Can it be used on live site ?
This plugin is only meant to be used for development purposes, but shouldn’t cause any issues if run on a production site.
What are post types ?
WordPress can hold and display many different types of content. A single item of such a content is generally called a post, although post is also a specific post type. Internally, all the post types are stored in the same place, in the wp_posts database table, but are differentiated by a column called post_type.
WordPress 3.0 gives you the capability to add your own custom post types and to use them in different ways.

Why won’t the plugin activate ?
Have you read what it says in the beautifully red bar at the top of your plugins page ? As it says there, the Debug Bar plugin needs to be active for this plugin to work. If the Debug Bar plugin is not active, this plugin will automatically de-activate itself.
