When you're working with WordPress, you may need to get your system information quickly. Usually this is the case when you need support from your hosting company or from one of the support forums. It can help somebody else answer your question if they know the PHP version installed on your server, the limits for file uploads and other settings. 

Getting this information can be done very quickly and can help you get the support you need to fix some of the most common errors found in WordPress. In this WordPress tutorial we will show you how to quickly get the most important information about your WordPress website.
