Toggle template path hints for frontend and backend on the fly using a simple query string — no more navigating to System > Configuration > Developer every time you need to debug a template.
The Problem
Enabling template path hints in Magento 2 requires navigating deep into admin configuration, switching store scope, saving, then remembering to turn it off again. It's slow, disruptive, and affects all users on the store view.
The Solution
Append ?tp=1&code=your-access-code to any URL and template path hints appear instantly — only for you. No config changes, no cache flush, no impact on other users. Works on both frontend and backend.
Key Features
How It Works
Enable Template Path Hints via Query String
Simply append the query string to any Magento URL to activate path hints. Works on both frontend storefront pages and backend admin pages.
| Action | Query String |
|---|---|
| Turn ON path hints | ?tp=1&code=your-access-code |
| Turn OFF path hints | ?tp=0&code=your-access-code |
Examples
# Frontend - enable path hints on homepage
https://your-store.com/?tp=1&code=your-access-code
# Frontend - enable on a specific product page
https://your-store.com/product-name.html?tp=1&code=your-access-code
# Backend - enable on admin dashboard
https://your-store.com/admin/?tp=1&code=your-access-codeCookie Persistence
Save the path hints setting in a browser cookie so it persists across page navigations. No need to re-append the query string on every page load.
- Activate once, browse freely with path hints enabled
- Especially useful when debugging form POST pages and redirects
- Helps debug transactional email templates that render server-side
- Clear the cookie or append
