## Beschreibung

WordPress builds the final theme.json data by merging three layers: core defaults,
the active theme (and its parent), and the changes saved in the Site Editor. When
a colour, font size or spacing value is not what you expect, it can be hard to see
which layer it came from.

Presetscope is a theme.json inspector. It adds a screen under **Tools  Presetscope**
that shows this merged data:

 * **Overview** – the active theme, its parent, whether it is a block theme, the
   theme.json version of the theme and how many presets it defines.
 * **Presets** – every colour, gradient, font size, font family, spacing size and
   shadow preset, with its CSS custom property (for example `--wp--preset--color--
   contrast`), its value, a colour sample and where it comes from (default, theme
   or custom).
 * **Settings** and **Styles** – the merged data as formatted JSON.
 * **Generated CSS** – the global stylesheet WordPress prints on the front end.

You can switch between the data with and without the Site Editor changes, to see
what the theme itself provides.

It works with block themes and classic themes.

#### Read-only

The screen only reads data through WordPress‘ public functions (`wp_get_global_settings()`,`
wp_get_global_styles()` and `wp_get_global_stylesheet()`). It does not change the
theme, the Site Editor data or any option, and it stores nothing in the database.
Only users who can edit theme options (administrators by default) can see it.

Nothing is sent to any external service.

Presetscope is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by 
the WordPress project.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `presetscope` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it from the
    Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to Tools  Presetscope.

## FAQ

### Can I edit theme.json here?

No. The screen is read-only. Use your theme files, or the Site Editor’s Styles panel,
to make changes.

### Why does the Source column say „default“?

Those presets come from WordPress core. „theme“ means the active theme defines them,
and „custom“ means they were added in the Site Editor.

### Does it work with classic themes?

Yes. Classic themes without a theme.json file show the core defaults that WordPress
uses for them.
