## Descripció

WordPress 5.5 introduced a way to differentiate between environment types (development,
staging, production). This plugin shows your site’s environment type in the admin
bar and the dashboard “At a Glance” widget.

[More info about the feature](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/24/new-wp_get_environment_type-function-in-wordpress-5-5/)

To gain additional control — for example, setting the environment or other values
from the WP admin (when `wp-config.php` is writable) — consider installing our other
plugin **[0 Day Analytics](https://wordpress.org/plugins/0-day-analytics/)**.

### Recommended Plugins

 * [0 Day Analytics](https://wordpress.org/plugins/0-day-analytics/) — a powerful
   plugin for sites that need more insight into errors and runtime behavior. It 
   includes a Cron manager, a Transient manager (database-backed), DB manager, Snippet
   manager, Mail manager, Plugin Version Switcher available from the Plugins page
   and many more.

## Captures

 * [[
 * Admin bar display (production).
 * [[
 * Admin bar display (staging).
 * [[
 * Admin bar display (development).
 * [[
 * Admin bar display (custom).
 * [[
 * The “At a Glance” widget.

## Instal·lació

 1. Install and activate the plugin from the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## PMF

### Can I set a custom color for my environment types?

Colors are intentionally fixed to avoid confusion. If colors were configurable, 
they’d need to be identical across all related servers to remain consistent.

### What happens if I define custom environment types?

Custom environment types were briefly supported in WordPress 5.5 but were removed
in 5.5.1. This plugin does not support custom types.

### Why don’t non-administrators see the environment type on the front end?

By default, the environment type is shown only to users with administrative capabilities.
This avoids exposing a prominent colored indicator to regular subscribers and other
non-admin users.

For additional control, use the `det_display_environment_type` filter hook. Example:

    ```
    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.
