Thanks! After enabling path hints for one of my stores and running your SQL the block hints showed up.

One note, in Magento 1.3.2.4 (and probably others) if you open app/code/core/Mage/Core/etc/system.xml and change the “show_in_default” value to “1″ (from 0) for “Template Path Hints” and “Add Block Names to Hints” these options will become available under “Default Config” right in the Admin interface.

THANKS! This seriously saved my life! Magento randomly enabled the debugging features on a clients site and no matter how many times I turned them off and updated the updating core_config_data DB table data they still showed up…so I had to comment out a few lines of code to get rid of the debugging features. Thanks again!

Good idea with updating core_config_data It’s realy save time between switching BACKEND AND FRONTEND.
