How to speed up a wordpress function with multiple loops?

Is there a plugin like Firebug that helps explore what templates, loops, or files power elements of a Wordpress website?

  • I'm sick of having to dig through theme files, settings, framework files, css, etc. to find where/how to change the footer, colors, or some other element of a WordPress website. Can we please have a -like browser or plugin that enables people to inspect an element of a WordPress powered website and get insight to how the element is generated by WordPress?

  • Answer:

    If you don't know your way around Wordpress, you can start by reading the http://codex.wordpress.org/ where you will find detailed info on the framework structure. This said, you can also use Firebug or Chrome inspector to find where is triggered this or that id. What you need to be efficient is a way to search quickly inside your WP files. This is available in major IDEs (like Netbeans for example) or you can also use your shell with something like: grep 'string' /path/to/wp/*

No, and no. The former really just isn't possible: the plugin would need the browser to access, read and understand arbitrary files before they were rendered by the server and sent to the browser, just to start off with. The latter (if automated) could be more complex than Wordpress itself (if not automated, it exists and is called the documentation). What said is the best you'll get.
