Test any theme or plugin​

With Playground, you can test any plugin or theme. Use the Query API to quickly load any plugin or theme published in wordpress.org plugins and themes directories.

For example, the following link will load the “pendant” theme and the “gutenberg” plugin on a Playground instance:

https://playground.wordpress.net/?theme=pendant&plugin=gutenberg

But you can also test more elaborate configurations using blueprints, for example testing a plugin’s code from a gist (see blueprint and live demo)

Live preview pull requests​

Testing pull requests is one of the most exciting use cases for the Playground project. With Playground, you can enable a Live preview link on each Pull Request of a WordPress-related project in GitHub so that developers can see in action the effects of code in that Pull Request. Read more about this at Preview WordPress Core Pull Requests with Playground.

There are some public implementations of this use case such as WordPress Core PR previewer and Gutenberg PR previewer. Users can input the PR number or URL to be redirected to a WordPress instance, powered by Playground, where the changes from the PR are applied.

GitHub actions such as WP Playground PR Preview allows you to add PR previews powered by WP Playground on any repository. For example, this feature was enabled in the WordPress/twentytwentyfive repository.

Clone your site and experiment in a private sandbox.​

With the Sandbox Site powered by Playground plugin you can create a private WordPress Playground copy of your site to test plugins safely or do any other experiments on your site’s replica without uploading any data to the cloud and without affecting the original site.

Test different WordPress and PHP versions.​

With Playground, you can quickly test any major WordPress or PHP version by customizing its settings or using a custom blueprint with the preferredVersions property.

For example, you can always test the latest development version of WordPress, also called Beta Nightly, from this link: https://playground.wordpress.net/?wp=nightly

During the Beta period of any WordPress release, you can also test the latest WordPress Beta or RC release with theme test data and debugging plugins (see blueprint and live demo).

You can also load any theme, plugin, or configuration in any of the available WordPress and PHP versions to check how they work in that environment.
