This plugin provides a local development environment with built-in debugging tools.
When the Query Monitor plugin is installed and activated, Remote Data Blocks will output debugging information to a dedicated “Remote Data Blocks” panel, including error details, stack traces, query execution details, and cache hit/miss status.
Tip
By default, the block editor is rendered in “Fullscreen mode” which hides the Admin Bar and Query Monitor. Open the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and toggle off “Fullscreen mode”, or press ⇧⌥⌘F.
The provided local development environment includes Query Monitor by default. You can also install it in non-local environments, but be aware that it may expose sensitive information in production environments. Query Monitor is currently not compatible with WordPress Playground and cannot be installed there.
The local development environment includes Xdebug for debugging PHP code and a Node.js debugging port for debugging block editor scripts.
Our goal is to ensure that Remote Data Blocks works with as many APIs as possible. While we cannot guarantee that we can support every API, we are happy to receive detailed reports of any issues you encounter. Please create a GitHub issue using the “API integration issue” template and we will do our best to assist you.
For general bugs, please use the “General bug report” template. If you have feedback or suggestions for improvement, please use the “Feedback” template.
If you need to reset the Remote Data Blocks configuration in your local development environment, you can use WP-CLI to delete the configuration option. This will permanently delete all configuration values, including access tokens and API keys.
npm run wp-cli option delete remote_data_blocks_config
