Quick Playground

Описание

The Quick Playground plugin provides a safe and convenient way to test new designs and features for your WordPress website, or to create demos and share proposed design changes. It creates a clone of your website’s home page and key content, allowing you to experiment with plugins, themes, and design changes without affecting your live website.

The plugin takes advantage of WordPress Playground, the innovative software that simulates a complete PHP/WordPress/database server environment running in your web browser for testing and experimentation. Quick Playground simplifies the creation of Playground Blueprints, which define steps such as installing themes and plugins and loading content. No need to hand-code JSON or arrange for code to be served from Github.

This plugin is ideal for developers and designers who want to test new ideas without disrupting their live website.

Features:

• Clone your website’s home page and key content for testing purposes. For performance reasons, the plugin does not attempt to clone your entire database.

• Experiment with themes and plugins, including unpublished custom code.

• Test new designs in a WordPress Playground environment.

• Works on WordPress multisite (clones the individual site, not the whole network). With the Pro version (see below), the multisite network administrator can set default themes and plugins to include or exclude.

Pro Version Upgrades

• Save changes for future playground sessions, allowing you to keep experimenting.

• Create demo environments separate from your live website content, for example to showcase themes, plugins, or hosting services.

• Sync changes back to your live website. For example, you can prototype block theme changes in Playground and copy the updated templates or template parts back to the live site.

How it Works

• You can create multiple Playground profiles, each of which can specify different themes, plugins, playgrounds, content, and settings. The Playground Blueprint is created for you, stored on your server as a PHP associative array, and served to the Playground as JSON file with the same data hierarchy.

• When a Playground is launched, it loads the themes, plugins, and content specified in your BluePrint. Any custom themes and plugins not in the WordPress repository will be archived on your server as ZIP files and downloaded on demand.

• Quick Playground loads a copy of itself into the Playground environment and assists with copying over content.

• If you obtain a Pro license key, a plugin with additional capabilities for saving and syncing content will be loaded into the Playground (not your live website).
