fabrikage/wp-env-switcher

[](#fabrikagewp-env-switcher)

Use this package to add a menu item in your WordPress admin bar in which you can switch between environments. This is useful when you have a DTAP street and you want to quickly switch between your environments.

The library will compare your current URL with the environment URLs you have set in your environment variables. If the current URL matches one of the environment URLs, that environment will be marked as active. Other environments will show in the submenu.

```

*Note: These variables are not required, but if you don't set them, the corresponding menu item will not show up.*

Installation
