FAQ
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.
Why should I be interested in the screen info ?
Because you can use it to conditionally include files, add help tabs, enqueue scripts and styles etc for the admin pages. Lean loading FTW 😉
Where does the screen info come from ?
The screen info is retrieved via the get_current_screen()
function and contains a WP_Screen
object.
Role of WP_Screen
This is a concrete class that is instantiated in the WordPress $screen global. It is primarily used to create and customize WordPress admin screens (as of WordPress 3.3).

Why won’t the plugin activate ?
Have you read what it says in the beautiful 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.
