Culprit Finder documentation

Culprit Finder finds the plugin that causes a problem on your site, or the two plugins that conflict with each other. It switches plugins off for your browser only, asks after each change whether the problem is still there, and narrows things down. Your visitors and other administrators see the normal site the whole time, and nothing is deactivated.
