Abhinavdev Environment Badge is a lightweight, zero-bloat utility plugin created for WordPress developers, agency teams, and site owners.

Have you or your clients ever accidentally edited posts, deleted products, or updated theme options on a Live Production site believing you were safely working on a Staging or Local sandbox?

This plugin eliminates that risk by injecting an unmistakable, color-coded visual indicator directly into the top WordPress Toolbar (Admin Bar) on both backend and frontend.

Key Features

  • Intelligent Environment Detection: Automatically identifies your environment using native WordPress wp_get_environment_type(), WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE constants, or domain heuristics (localhost, .test, .local, staging.*).
  • Manual Override & Custom Labels: Need to specify a custom label like “Client UAT” or “Feature Branch”? Override detection with a single click.
  • Custom Color Palettes: Full control over background and text colors for each environment using native WordPress color pickers.
  • Live Settings Preview: See your badge update in real-time right inside the settings dashboard before saving.
  • System Info Dropdown: Hovering over the badge displays key diagnostic data: Active Environment, WordPress Version, PHP Version, and Host name.
  • Position Controls: Position the badge on the right or left of the admin bar.
  • Frontend Visibility Option: Choose whether logged-in administrators see the badge on the frontend or backend only.
  • 100% Native & Lightweight: Zero third-party JavaScript libraries or external CDN dependencies. Clean CSS and native WordPress Settings API.
