Why doesn't mini profiler work?

I installed a brand new Umbraco 13 and enabled profiling under the profiling tab.
Created a basic document type and ran the site.
The page displayed and I entered ?umbdebug=true at the end of the URL but nothing is being displayed.
I'm expecting some pop up on the right but nothing is shown. I have not installed anything else but was expecting to see a pop up.
I also have Hosting, debug= true in my app settings.
Have I missed off anything?

03/07/2024, 2:41 PMI just launched a v12.3.3 site as a reminder to myself and the miniprofiler displayed ok (on a plain site with the Clean Starter kit installed). When you turn on the automatic profiling you don't need to add the querystring. Is your debug setting under Umbraco, CMS? I remember an issue I had in the past when (for reasons I can't remember) I wasn't inheriting from UmbracoViewPage in my page template.

Also, ensure your template calls @Html.RenderProfiler() as one of the last things.Mike Chambers

Copy code
csharp
public bool IsDebug => // NOTE: the request can be null during app startup!
_hostingEnvironment.IsDebugMode
&& (string.IsNullOrEmpty(_httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.GetRequestValue("umbdebugshowtrace")) == false
|| string.IsNullOrEmpty(_httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.GetRequestValue("umbdebug")) == false
|| string.IsNullOrEmpty(_cookieManager.GetCookieValue("UMB-DEBUG")) == false);w

08/19/2024, 3:04 PMDoes MiniProfiler only work for front-end requests? I'm trying to debug custom backoffice code but I can't get MiniProfiler UI to display anywhere.

08/20/2024, 10:07 PMYes, miniprofiler only runs for "frontend" requests, i.e. where there's a view calling
@Html.RenderProfiler()100 Views
