 * Hey there, great plugin. I’m trying to follow the [instructions in this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-file-gallery-pagination-problem?replies=9)
   about enabling debugging. Aesqe said
 * > I’ve added a basic debugger to File Gallery 1.7-RC11… To see debugger output,
   > you need to define a constant in your theme’s “functions.php” file, like this:
   > `define('FILE_GALLERY_DEBUG', true);`
   > and then add a ‘file_gallery_debug’ variable to your gallery URL, like this:
   > **somesite/gallery/?file_gallery_debug**
 * I’m tripping up on that last instruction. What is this URL? It’s not the plugin
   URL, which is somesite/wp-content/plugins/file-gallery/
 * It’s not the shortcode, which is simply [gallery], what is that?

 * [@electrolund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/electrolund/): just add “?
   file_gallery_debug” to the end of your url, like this: [http://www.electrolund.com/2012/01/if-a-tree-falls-in-your-backyard/?file_gallery_debug](http://www.electrolund.com/2012/01/if-a-tree-falls-in-your-backyard/?file_gallery_debug)
 * I’m not sure what the output will be, though, probably not much, as I haven’t
   been adding any new output to it :/

 * In the next version of the plugin, I’ll hook all the debugging to the Debug Bar
   plugin. You’ll have to install it, but I think that having all debug data in 
   one place makes it waaay easier to see what’s going on under the hood.

 * Hey that’s cool. I didn’t even know about Debug Bar, so thanks again.
