LocalDev Switcher

By thewebist

Description

LocalDev Switcher allows you to seamlessly toggle between production plugins and themes 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/:
1. /plugins/your-plugin/ – Loaded from VCS/WordPress.org Plugins/etc.
2. /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.

For theme support, follow the same pattern as for plugin support. Setup your local version of your theme inside the theme directory using localdev-{theme-slug} for the local version’s directory name.

FAQ

What happens if I don’t have a `localdev-{plugin-slug}` version?: LocalDev Switcher will default to using the version-controlled plugin.
