README

Easily switch between different site environments from the WordPress admin bar.

Props to WordPress Stage Switcher for the inspiration.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require alleyinteractive/wp-environment-switcher

Usage

Activate the plugin in WordPress and you will see the switcher appear in the top right admin bar:

The plugin reads the current WordPress environment from the current hosting provider (Pantheon and WordPress VIP supported) and falls back to wp_get_environment_type() which can be set by defining WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE in your wp-config.php file. You can override the current environment by using the wp_environment_switcher_current_environment filter:

add_filter(
	'wp_environment_switcher_current_environment',
	fn () => 'my-custom-environment'
);

You can define the available environments by using the wp_environment_switcher_environments filter:

add_filter(
	'wp_environment_switcher_environments',
	fn () => [
		'production' => 'https://example.org',
		'staging'    => 'https://staging.example.org',
		'local'      => 'https://example.test',
	]
);

The plugin will automatically detect the current environment and highlight it in the switcher.

Testing

Run composer test to run tests against PHPStan/PHPCS.
