Asking to recommend a product (plugin, theme, book, hosting provider), tool, library, or off-site resource is out of scope for this site, as it attracts opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

Improve this questionI am looking for a Wordpress plugin that prints file template names, maybe with a designating border. Magento has "template hints", as you can see in this screenshot:
If there is not such a plugin and someone would like to develop it with me, let's do that, too!

I know that I have written an answer about exactly that some time ago. – kaiser Commented May 30, 2014 at 17:50
- 1 a) I have looked around the internet with various keywords such as wordpress, template, hints, path, print, echo, file path, plugin. I found a dead plugin called templatepath that isn't compatible anymore. b) Searched the site with similar keywords but I didn't really find anything. I did find your answer though! Thank you. – dmanexe Commented May 30, 2014 at 18:13
- 1 However, that solution doesn't really provide the front-end visualization of files. It just prints a list of files loaded by that page. While good, it's not exactly what I am looking for. – dmanexe Commented May 30, 2014 at 18:14

Reset to default 2I use a plugin called Query Monitor, that does a whole bunch of stuff, including showing the page's template. It's in the WordPress Repo.
Here is what I use. It will display the current template file name to logged-in users. Paste this in your functions.php file and comment out/remove when not in use.
// REMOVE - show template name
add_action('wp_head', 'show_template');
function show_template() {
global $template;
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
if ($current_user->user_level == 10 ) print_r($template);
}
// REMOVE - end show template name
