As Playground streams rather than serves WordPress, all database changes and uploads will be gone when you refresh the page. To avoid losing your work, either export your work before or enable storage in the browser/device via the "Save" button found in the "Open Playground Manager" menu on the top left of the site.
WordPress Playground is designed to work across all major desktop and mobile browsers. This includes:
Desktop browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers
Mobile browsers: Safari (iOS), Chrome (Android), and other mobile browser variants
Playground leverages modern web technologies and should function consistently across these browser environments. However, some advanced features may have varying levels of support depending on the specific browser and its version.
Note: Opera Mini support is not currently confirmed.
Playground renders WordPress in an iframe so clicking links with target="_top" will reload the page you’re working on.
Also, JavaScript popups originating in the iframe may not always display.
Playground supports running PHP code in Blueprints using the runPHP step. To run WordPress-specific PHP functions, you’d need to first require wp-load.php:
You can execute wp-cli commands via the Blueprints wp-cli step. However, since Playground runs in the browser, it doesn't support the full array of available commands. While there is no definite list of supported commands, experimenting in the online demo will help you assess what's possible.
