Asking to recommend a product (plugin, theme, book, hosting provider), tool, library, or off-site resource is out of scope for this site, as it attracts opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

I am looking for a Wordpress plugin that prints file template names, maybe with a designating border. Magento has "template hints", as you can see in this screenshot:

If there is not such a plugin and someone would like to develop it with me, let's do that, too!

• Have you already (a) tried something and (b) searched the site? I know that I have written an answer about exactly that some time ago. – kaiser Commented May 30, 2014 at 17:50
• 1 a) I have looked around the internet with various keywords such as wordpress, template, hints, path, print, echo, file path, plugin. I found a dead plugin called templatepath that isn't compatible anymore. b) Searched the site with similar keywords but I didn't really find anything. I did find your answer though! Thank you. – dmanexe Commented May 30, 2014 at 18:13
• 1 However, that solution doesn't really provide the front-end visualization of files. It just prints a list of files loaded by that page. While good, it's not exactly what I am looking for. – dmanexe Commented May 30, 2014 at 18:14

I use a plugin called Query Monitor, that does a whole bunch of stuff, including showing the page's template. It's in the WordPress Repo.

Here is what I use. It will display the current template file name to logged-in users. Paste this in your functions.php file and comment out/remove when not in use.

// REMOVE - show template name
  add_action('wp_head', 'show_template');
  function show_template() {
  global $template;
  global $current_user;
  get_currentuserinfo();
  if ($current_user->user_level == 10 ) print_r($template);
  }
// REMOVE - end show template name
