## Descriere

EnvBeacon is a lightweight WordPress plugin designed for development teams managing
multiple WordPress environments (local, staging, production). It displays a color-
coded notice bar in the WordPress admin bar, making it instantly clear which environment
you’re working on.

**Perfect for preventing:**
 – Accidentally modifying content on live sites – Publishing
changes to staging instead of live – Confusion when switching between environments

### Features

 * 🎨 Color-coded environment indicators (Red for Live, Blue for Staging, Green 
   for Local)
 * ⚙️ Easy-to-use settings page for URL pattern configuration
 * 🔄 Automatic environment detection based on site URL
 * 📋 Flexible URL patterns (simple strings, wildcards, regex alternation)
 * 🏠 Built-in defaults for local, staging, and live environments
 * 💾 Lightweight – no database overhead
 * 🚀 Universal – works with any WordPress site

### Quick Start

**To set up the plugin:**

 1. In WordPress admin, go to Settings  EnvBeacon
 2. Enter your Live environment URL (e.g., `example.com`)
 3. Staging patterns come pre-filled with common defaults: `stg|staging|stage|qa|dev-
    staging`
 4. Local patterns come pre-filled with common defaults: `localhost|127.0.0.1|.local
    |.test`
 5. Customize patterns and colors as needed
 6. Click Save Changes

**Default Patterns:**

 * **Staging**: `stg|staging|stage|qa|dev-staging`
 * **Local**: `localhost|127.0.0.1|.local|.test`

**Custom Pattern Examples:**

 * `example.com` – Simple string match
 * `*.example.com` – Wildcard (matches staging.example.com, qa.example.com, etc.)
 * `staging|stage|qa` – Regex alternation (matches any of these words)

### Usage

Once activated and configured, the EnvBeacon will:

 1. Check your site’s URL on each page load
 2. Match it against your configured patterns
 3. Display a colored indicator in the WordPress admin bar
 4. Show the environment name (Live, Staging, or Local)

No further configuration needed!

you through configuration.

## Întrebări frecvente

### Q: Will this affect my site’s performance?

A: No, the detection is very lightweight (just a URL comparison) and only runs once
per page load.

### Q: What if I don’t configure it?

A: All traffic will show as „Local” by default, which is safe.

### Q: Can I use regex patterns?

A: Yes! Advanced users can use full regex patterns. Just enter your regex directly
in the URL field.

### Q: Does this work on the frontend?

A: Only when the WordPress admin bar is visible (when `show_admin_bar()` is true).
It won’t appear for logged-out users.

### Q: Can I customize the colors?

A: Yes, each environment has a customizable color in the settings page.
