Confusing development environments is easy, especially when working under deadline pressure, on multiple projects simultaneously, or simply due to human error.

One effective way to solve this problem is by visually distinguishing the WordPress admin panel with different colors depending on the development environment. This approach not only increases the developers’ level of attentiveness but also facilitates faster and more intuitive differentiation between environments, reducing the likelihood of errors.

    define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'local' );
    define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'development' );
    define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'staging' );
    define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'production' );
    ```

    composer require renakdup/colorize-wp-adminpanel-for-environments
    ```
