That’s very strange. I assume it also fails using the latest version of the plugin?

I wonder if there’s some setting in PHP that might affect this.

I upgraded from 2.1.3. to 2.3.1 but the debugger still gives the same error. However the problem I was trying to debug (google sitemap) was fixed by the wordpress upgrade.

What version of PHP?

Ran on localhost apache server:

Error message during do_action in plugin.php – it doesn’t like the callback you added to the array in add_action

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘WiPeD::setup’ was given in … \wordpress\wp-includes\plugin.php on line 123

Now I need a debugger to debug the mysteries of the debugger!

Oops! How the heck did that happen? Sorry about that — it’s corrected now. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi, unfortunately the download does not work. It returns a 22 bytes long file.

Thanks apotheon, I needed it for myself. Yes, warts and all, I won’t be leaving WordPress any time soon — there’s just too much that it does for you that I’d have to replicate.

Excellent! If I find myself hacking much more WordPress code, you can bet money I’ll be using this (unless something better comes along by then). Of course, at present I’m looking more for alternatives to hacking WordPress code so I won’t have to — but the problem of migrating content and ensuring I don’t lose some of the most important functionality kinda has me tied to WordPress for now.

Anyway . . . it’s great seeing you produce a WordPress hacker’s debugger. It’s something WordPress desperately needs.
