What problem does it solve?

WordPress Playground provides fast, disposable WordPress environments that you can spin up in the browser or locally to safely test plugins, themes, and configurations without a full-stack setup.

  • Run and iterate on Playground Blueprints (JSON) locally to reproduce setups.
  • Build reproducible snapshots of a site for sharing or CI.
  • Switch WordPress and PHP versions quickly to reproduce issues.
  • Debug plugin/theme code with Xdebug in an isolated Playground.

Quick Start

Install and run the Playground CLI: npx @wp-playground/cli@latest server --auto-mount Open http://localhost:9400 to access the disposable WordPress instance, or run a blueprint with: npx @wp-playground/cli@latest run-blueprint --blueprint=<file-or-url> Build a snapshot with: npx @wp-playground/cli@latest build-snapshot --blueprint=<file> --outfile=./site.zip Switch WP/PHP versions using --wp and --php as needed.
