Kwel-vrae

Can it be used on live site ?

This plugin is only meant to be used for development purposes, but shouldn’t cause any issues if run on a production site.

Why should I be interested in the screen info ?

Because you can use it to conditionally include files, add help tabs, enqueue scripts and styles etc for the admin pages. Lean loading FTW 😉

Where does the screen info come from ?

The screen info is retrieved via the get_current_screen() function and contains a WP_Screen object.

Role of WP_Screen

This is a concrete class that is instantiated in the WordPress $screen global. It is primarily used to create and customize WordPress admin screens (as of WordPress 3.3).

Why won’t the plugin activate ?

Have you read what it says in the beautiful red bar at the top of your plugins page ? As it says there, the Debug Bar plugin needs to be active for this plugin to work. If the Debug Bar plugin is not active, this plugin will automatically de-activate itself.
