WordPress Playground

When to use

• Spin up a disposable WordPress to test a plugin/theme without full stack setup.
• Run or iterate on Playground Blueprints (JSON) locally.
• Build a reproducible snapshot of a site for sharing or CI.
• Switch WP/PHP versions quickly to reproduce issues.
• Debug plugin/theme code with Xdebug in an isolated Playground.
• Run PHPUnit tests without a local database (no Docker, no MySQL).
• Write E2E Playwright tests against a real WordPress instance.
• Automate Playground in CI/CD pipelines via the programmatic runCLI API.
