Skildring
Structure Viewer is a lightweight developer tool for WordPress that lets you explore the file and folder structure of installed plugins and themes directly from the admin dashboard. Featuring an intuitive, tree-like view with expandable folders and clickable file links, it’s perfect for developers and site admins looking to debug, audit, or understand the organization of WordPress extensions. Use it to export structures as a text file and share with AI tools like Grok or ChatGPT—enabling AI to analyze plugin/theme layouts (e.g., WooCommerce) and assist with precise customizations, such as modifying key files like includes/class-wc-cart.php. Secure, optimized, and accessible under Tools > Structure Viewer, this plugin simplifies development workflows. Developed by Blincks.
Use Cases:
- Debugging Issues: Identify misplaced or missing files in a plugin/theme (e.g., a broken WooCommerce feature) by inspecting its structure, helping developers quickly pinpoint the root cause.
- Learning Plugin Architecture: Explore the file organization of complex plugins like Elementor to understand their structure, aiding in faster learning and custom development.
- Auditing for Security: Review the file structure of a third-party theme to check for suspicious files or directories, ensuring no malicious code is present.
- AI-Assisted Customization: Export a plugin’s structure (e.g., Yoast SEO) as a text file and provide it to an AI tool to analyze files like
includes/class-yoast.php, enabling tailored modifications such as tweaking SEO metadata handling. - Documentation and Collaboration: Share the folder structure of a custom theme with a team to streamline collaborative development or document its organization for future reference.
