A snippetclub.com member was running into issues where they had both a local version and online version of the same site and wondering why changes weren’t reflecting on the frontend.
I wrote a quick snippet that checks if the environment is local and adds a widget in the top right corner. This works with LocalWP as they set the constant WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE to LOCAL. This makes our life easy for checking in the code.
Snippet
Add the code below to functions.php or code snippet plugin.
PHP
add_action("wp_head", "local_checker"); function local_checker(){ if(!defined( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE' )) return; if (WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE == "local") { echo '<style> body::before{ content:"Local environment"; position: fixed; top: 40px; right: 10px; z-index: 9999999; background: lightcoral; border: 1px solid lightgray; padding: .5rem 1rem; border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: rgba(149, 157, 165, 0.2) 0px 8px 24px; }</style>'; } }Copy
