WordPress 5.5 [introduced](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/07/24/new-wp_get_environment_type-function-in-wordpress-5-5/) the `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE` constant, which allows you to define the current environment where WordPress is running, either **production**, **staging**, **local**, or **development**. You can use the [Display Environment Type](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-environment-type/) plugin to show this information in the admin bar.

However, in new WordPress versions, the admin bar is hidden in the post editor and site editor. This plugin adds a new icon in the block editor toolbar to display the environment type. You can think of this as a complimentary plugin to [Display Environment Type](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-environment-type/) because it's highly recommended that you use both plugins at the same time.

## Requirements

* WordPress 5.5 or later
* PHP 7.2 or later

## Installation

1. Install the plugin from your WordPress dashboard
2. Activate the **Show Environment In Editor** via the plugins admin page

## Frequently Asked Questions

### My environment shows "production". How can I change it?

You can set the environment type in `wp-config.php`. Here are the values you can use.
 

    // Production
    define('WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'production');

    // Staging
    define('WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'staging');

    // Local
    define('WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'local');

    // Development
    define('WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'development');
