WooCommerce Dev Helper

This is a simple and opinionated plugin for helping develop/debug WooCommerce & extensions. DO NOT USE ON A PRODUCTION SERVER.

Use Forwarded URLs

Once activated, this plugin will make WordPress use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR for all your links instead of your site URL. No configuration needed.

We like to use NGrok for this.

Subscriptions

Adds a "renew" link to each subscription under WooCommerce > Subscriptions for easy renewal processing. This is particularly useful for testing payment gateways that supports subscriptions.

Allows for minutes and hours-long Subscription periods for quicker testing.

Memberships

Allows for minutes and hours-long Membership lengths for quicker testing.

Bogus Gateway

Adds a testing payment gateway that will call the $order->payment_complete() method to simulate a credit card payment. Can also be used for Subscriptions automatic renewals.

Global Functions

• wp_debug_backtrace() - helper for using the debug_backtrace() function with a bit more sanity
• wp_var_dump() - helper for var_dump, allowing you to return the output instead of printing
• wp_var_log() - helper for error_log that uses print_r() or optionally wp_var_dump()
• wp_print_r() - helper for print_r that wraps the output in <pre> HTML tags
• wc_dev_session - JS helper to get all the current session data in console

Misc

• Removes the WooCommmerce Updater notice
• Removes the strong password requirement for customer accounts
• Helper for logging actions/filters fired during a page load -- simply add ?wcdh_hooks=actions|filters|all, reload the page, and your desired hooks will be printed to the error log, along with the fired count

Installation

Download and install just like any other WordPress plugin. If you want to be really fancy, symlink it into your installs instead.
