THIS PLUGIN IS FOR USE DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORDPRESS THEMES
Live Auto Refresh helps developers instantly see changes made to theme code or content by automatically reloading the browser. No manual refresh is needed.
This greatly enhances the productivity and accuracy of web development. It allows the developer to test and debug the website in real time and to instantly view how the content appears on the front end of all loaded logged in browsers and devices. With this feature, the developer can always ensure that the website matches the intended design and functionality.
This plugin is only active for logged-in administrators and does not affect regular site visitors.
