hook-logger-plugin

Easily debug WordPress action / filter hooks, finding where actions are called from and understanding the flow of execution.

This plugin does nothing on its own and requires the user to add additional code elsewhere.

the easist way to generate output is...

$logger = new Hook_Logger_Plugin();
$logger->log_to_file = true;

This will create a new .log file for each and every request. By default logging to file does not happen.

Additional Config

The most common usage is supplying include or exclude strings / regex.

When a string is passed it will match against the start of the action. eg, option will match option_test but not test_option. When a regex is passed it must start with /. eg /mail/ will match wp_mail and sanitize_email

$logger = new Hook_Logger_Plugin();
$logger->include = ['mail'];

$logger = new Hook_Logger_Plugin();
$logger->exclude[] = '/plugin/';

Note: by default there are a number of helpful exclusions pre-loaded.
