This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Rewrite Rules Inspector

Description

A straightforward WordPress admin tool for inspecting your rewrite rules. View a listing of all your rewrite rules, see which rewrite rules match a given URL (and the priorites they match in), or filter by different sources of rewrite rules. Perform a soft flush of your rewrite rules to regenerate them.

Originally developed for WordPress.com VIP-hosted clients, we thought it would be useful for development environments, etc. too. Feel free to fork the plugin in Github — pull requests are always welcome. Hit us with feedback, questions, bug reports, and feature requests in the forums.

Love the plugin but noticed today, whilst debugging a new plugin I'm writting, that the plugin still uses the depreciated functions: screen_icon() and get_screen_icon(). Both have gone depreciated since 3.8.0 so I reckon a minor update to avoid these errors from popping up in the debug mode is worth the effort 🙂 The fix - with backwards compatibility (do we need that?) - would be to change: <?php screen_icon( 'tools' ); ?> into: <?php if ( function_exists('screen_icon') ) screen_icon( 'tools' ); ?> ___ (!) Notice: screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available. (!) Notice: get_screen_icon is deprecated since version 3.8.0 with no alternative available.
