# Debug mode

In the ThemeWare® plugin configuration (not theme configuration) you have the option of activating the **ThemeWare® "Debug mode"**.

If the "Debug mode" is active, the "Expert configuration", for example, is no longer taken into account. This means that any issues in these "individual customisations" can be avoided with a single click.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The "Debug mode" should not be used in productive environments.
{% endhint %}

Since "Debug mode" disables some configurations to make debugging easier, we do not recommend using this mode in production.

#### Storefront indicator

To prevent you from accidentally activating "Debug mode", a corresponding indicator appears in the storefront.

If you are asked to activate "Debug mode" temporarily during debugging or by ThemeWare® Support, you can also use the option "Yes (without storefront indicator)". This activates "Debug mode’" but the indicator is not displayed. Make sure to deactivate this mode afterwards!
