Show Template Plugin

Prints an html comment in the footer of every page letting you know which template file of your theme was used for the display.

This plugin is aimed towards theme developers and for theme support. It is recommended to only have this plugin activated during development or support as it will expose your file system path structure.

Props to Joel Fisher for the idea behind this plugin.

Upgrade

1. Use the plugin updater in WordPress or…
2. Delete the previous show-template folder from the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Upload the new show-template folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

Usage

1. Install and activate.
2. View source of your blog through your web browser. You will see a html comment in the form of <!-- Active Template: /home/username/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/index.php -->

1. Upload the show-template folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory or install directly through the plugin installer.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress or by using the link provided by the plugin installer

Why is the html comment not showing in the view source of my site?

This plugin requires that your themes footer.php contain <?php wp_footer(); ?> directly above the </body> tag.
