## Description

WPFalcons String Finder & Debug Toolkit is a modern debugging plugin for WordPress
developers and site maintainers.

It gives you a centralized dashboard with powerful tools so you can quickly inspect
and improve your site:

 * **Debug Logs**: Track Core/PHP warnings, JavaScript runtime errors, and REST 
   API error responses in a categorized UI.
 * **String Finder**: Search for specific strings across entire plugins, themes,
   or your whole `wp-content` directory.
 * **Code Optimizer**: Audit plugins and themes for common compatibility issues,
   missing security checks, and leftover debugging statements.

Logs are written to `wp-content/uploads/wpfalcons-toolkit/debug.log` and displayed
in a polished React-powered admin UI designed for fast troubleshooting.

### Key Features

 * Advanced **String Finder** to recursively search code inside specific themes 
   and plugins
 * **Code Optimizer** to automatically scan code for missing `ABSPATH` checks, empty
   catch blocks, and leftover debug statements
 * Debug logging toggle from WordPress admin
 * Category tabs for **All**, **Core**, **JS**, and **API** logs
 * Search and pagination for large log files
 * React-powered admin interface with REST API data flow

### Perfect For

 * WordPress plugin and theme development
 * Locating hard-coded strings for translation or modification
 * Auditing third-party plugin code quality and security
 * QA and staging diagnostics
 * Faster production issue triage

## FAQ

No. The plugin is designed to work without manual `wp-config.php` edits for the 
admin-driven workflow.

### Where are logs stored?

debug.log`.

Yes. Use the tabs for **Core**, **JS**, and **API**.

### Is this plugin developer-friendly?

Yes. It is built for developers and technical teams who need fast diagnostics, efficient
string searching, and automated code audits.

### Can I search for a string in all my plugins at once?

Yes, the String Finder tool allows you to search across the entire `wp-content/plugins`
directory or narrow it down to a specific plugin or theme.

### What does the Code Optimizer check for?

The Code Optimizer checks for missing direct access prevention (ABSPATH), empty 
catch blocks, unsafe WP_DEBUG usage, instantiating classes without existence checks,
and leftover debugging statements like print_r or console.log.
