Start using WordPress Playground in 5 minutes

WordPress Playground can help you with any of the following:

This page will guide you through each of these. Oh, and if you're a visual learner – here's a video:

Start a new WordPress site​

Every time you visit the official demo on playground.wordpress.net, you get a fresh WordPress site.

You can then create pages, upload plugins, themes, import your own site, and do most things you would do on a regular WordPress.

It's that easy to start!

The entire site lives in your browser and is scraped when you close the tab. Want to start over? Just refresh the page!

WordPress Playground is private

Everything you build stays in your browser and is not sent anywhere. Once you're finished, you can export your site as a zip file. Or just refresh the page and start over!

Try a block, a theme, or a plugin​

You can upload any plugin or theme you want in /wp-admin/.

To save a few clicks, you can preinstall plugins or themes from the WordPress plugin directory by adding a plugin or theme parameter to the URL. For example, to install the coblocks plugin, you can use this URL:

https://playground.wordpress.net/?plugin=coblocks

Or this URL to preinstall the pendant theme:

https://playground.wordpress.net/?theme=pendant

You can also mix and match these parameters and even add multiple plugins:

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

This is called Query API and you can learn more about it here.

Save your site​

To keep your WordPress Playground site for longer than a single browser session, you can export it as a .zip file.

  1. Open the Playground site manager panel:

Site Manager

  1. Use the "Download as .zip" button in the additional actions menu

Export button

The exported file contains the complete site you've built. You could host it on any server that supports PHP and SQLite. All WordPress core files, plugins, themes, and everything else you've added to your site are in there.

The SQLite database file is also included in the export, you'll find it wp-content/database/.ht.sqlite. Keep in mind that files starting with a dot are hidden by default on most operating systems so you might need to enable the "Show hidden files" option in your file manager.

Restore a saved site​

You can restore the saved site using the "Import from .zip" button in the site management panel:

Import from .zip button

Use a specific WordPress or PHP version​

The quickest way to change the version of WordPress or PHP is by using the settings panel on the official demo site:

WordPress Playground Settings menu

Test your plugin or theme

Compatibility testing with so many WordPress and PHP versions was always a pain. WordPress Playground makes this process effortless – use it to your advantage!

You can also use the wp and php query parameters to open Playground with the right versions already loaded:

This is called Query API and you can learn more about it here.

Major versions only

You can specify major versions like wp=6.2 or php=8.1 and expect the most recent release in that line. You cannot, however, request older minor versions so neither wp=6.1.2 nor php=7.4.9 will work.

Import a WXR file​

You can import a WordPress export file by uploading a WXR file in /wp-admin/.

You can also use JSON Blueprints. See getting started with Blueprints to learn more.

This is different from the import feature described above. The import feature exports the entire site, including the database. This import feature imports a WXR file into an existing site.

Build apps with WordPress Playground​

WordPress Playground is programmable which means you can build WordPress apps, setup plugin demos, and even use it as a zero-setup local development environment.
