As @matinict mentioned in his comment, in Magento 2.3 you need to append ?templatehints=<Parameter Value> in your URL and your magento should be on Developer mode.
So your url will be look like as following:
and for any particular page URL will be like that
For future googlers - I had this same problem on a site that had the core Magento data migrated over from an M1 store I had no control over. The problem turned out to be an IP address in the developer client restrictions input. This overrides template hints.

You need to set scope Default store view or your current store view. You have set Main Website in Current configuration scope.
After set Current configuration as YOur Default store view and check Yes for storepath hints for front and Blockpath hints as Yes.

If you are using Magento 2.2 then on production mode, the template hint will not work.
Also, you need to check the setting at last level of scope mean store view scope.

I strongly discourage this method. Use it at your own risk. Only to be used on local system.
Open vendor/magento/module-developer/Model/TemplateEngine/Plugin/DebugHints.php (tested in 2.3.2)
write this code inside afterCreate function : (at the start, above the storecode line)
if(isset($_GET['shreyasPathHints']) && $_GET['shreyasPathHints'] == 'on'){ return $this->debugHintsFactory->create([ 'subject' => $invocationResult, 'showBlockHints' => 1, ]); } Now, you can open any Magento page and append ?shreyasPathHints=on to the URL. No need to run any commands.
Curiously. Now it works. Added a new block on the site and once again cleared the cache.
I'd like to put in my two cents as well. After scratching my head about why template hints weren't being displayed even though the setting is enabled, I eventually discovered that the ?templatehints={key} bit does not work with urls that include pagination, eg:
https://devserver1234.nxcli.net/mycategory.html?p=1?templatehints=magento
In this case, you would need to remove the ?p=1 portion of the url.
- If you have multiple parameters in an URL, separate them with an ampersand (&): devserver1234.nxcli.net/…bdbdbd– bdbdbd2021-10-27 16:02:41 +00:00Commented Oct 27, 2021 at 16:02
When I discovered my problem, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry with anger! haha
Basically when I activated templatehintes through the SHH console I had set an IP. I forgot to remove this IP. Obviously when my IP number changed, the template hints no longer worked.
I just needed to remove this IP and everything worked normally.
