## Description

With this plugin, you can:

 * Create a copy of your site in a private WordPress Playground instance.
 * Test plugins from the WordPress plugin directory without actually installing 
   them on your site.

Your site is cloned in Playground by copying all the files and a database into WordPress
Playground. It may sound scary, but your data stays safely with you and is **not**
uploaded to any cloud service. Instead, your site’s data is shipped directly to 
your web browser where it stays only as long as you keep your browser tab open. 
That’s right! WordPress Playground runs a copy of your site directly on your device.

### Usage

#### Starting a sandbox

 * Open `/wp-admin/` on your site
 * Click on _Sandbox Site_ in the _Tools_ menu to load WordPress Playground with
   a copy of your site content

#### Testing a plugin

 * Open `/wp-admin/` on your site
 * Click on _Add Plugins_ in the _Plugins_ menu
 * Find a plugin you want to test
 * Click the _Preview Now_ button
 * The plugin will be installed and activated in WordPress Playground with a copy
   of your site content

### All features

 * Start a sandbox of your site
 * Preview a plugin installation from the WordPress.org repository
 * Export Playground snapshots using Tools > Export

The instruction go to /wp-admin/ looks like a terminal command! Please show a screenshot
as well! For example imgur.com/a/7mBqZH0 A video would be even better!

 [Martin Sauter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/martinsauter/) 18, Xunu de 2024

I really love the idea of quickly creating a staging website to test something. 
However, this does not (yet) work as expected: Themes and plugins are copied over,
but not activated – while posts and pages are completely missing.
