GD Press Tools Pro is a collection of various features and tools for enhancing WordPress with backup, debugger, events logging, cleanup, and much more.
Addons Architecture
The plugin is based around the addons architecture, and most of the plugin features are available as built-in addons.

Multisite Integrated
The plugin is made for multisite in mind, and most controls are on the network level with various features available on sites too.
FTP Storage
The plugin implements a storage system in the core that can be used by the backup addon to offload the backup files.
Developed for Multisite
The whole plugin is developed with multisite in mind, and a lot of features are multisite based
In the multisite mode, the plugin’s main control is inside the Network admin. Some features and addons can be controlled through Network administration, and some can be set for individual blogs in the multisite.
One very much unique feature in GD Press Tools Pro is a feature called: Overload added as a second top-level menu in network admin. This mode allows you to control blog-specific features from one place for all blogs in the network.
What does this mean for the plugin setup? Take the Tweaks for instance. There are 60+ tweaks you can set, most of them are for blogs and not the whole network. So, you need to go through the Tweaks panel for each blog in the network and set (usually) all the same tweaks. Well, with Overload this is no longer the case. In the Overload Tweaks panel, you can set some tweaks, mark them for Overload and they are applied to all blogs in the Network! And, they will not be available for use on the blog Tweaks panel.
Powerful Debugger

SQL Queries
The plugin can get all SQL queries run on-page, format them and filter them according by different criteria.
Events log support
And, it can send all captured errors, warnings and HTTP API Calls into the GD Press Tools Pro events log.
Debug Print Function
To show complex objects in a readable way, the plugin has special print function that works using PHP reflection classes.
Fully Responsive
Debugger popup is fully responsive, and it works great on small screens with drop-down used instead of the tabs.
Website Backup
