Description
LocalDev Switcher allows you to seamlessly toggle between production plugins and their local development versions.
Usage:
-
Place your local dev version of a plugin in:
wp-content/plugins/localdev-{plugin-slug}
-
You should now have two directories containing the same plugin inside your
/plugins/:/plugins/your-plugin/– Loaded from VCS/WordPress.org Plugins/etc./plugins/localdev-your-plugin/– Your local development version
- Use LocalDev Switcher to toggle between the version-controlled and local versions. The toggle UI appears in the plugin meta row.
LocalDev Switcher prevents double-loading and ensures only the desired version is active.
