 * If this plugin is installed and activated, but you have turned off WordPress 
   Toolbar for the front-end in user settings, or viewing the site in an incognito
   window ( as a guest ) – errors and notices are hidden! I was unaware of this 
   and it turns out I have a bunch of notices in my themes that I never knew about!

 * Not sure whether this is still relevant for you, but just in case:
 * Even using `WP_DEBUG` to get errors to display, you may still miss some errors
   as they are in hidden divs etc.
 * Your best bet to get a full insight in all the errors generated by a WP install,
   including plugins and themes, is to turn on error logging.
 * For example code on how to do this, see [https://gist.github.com/jrfnl/5925642](https://gist.github.com/jrfnl/5925642)
 * While the Debug Bar still does not play nice with error logging, this is expected
   to be fixed in an upcoming future release.
