Hi everyone welcome to K2 blogging and in this video I will show you how you can quickly
0:03
create a test WordPress website for you. So whether you want to test a plugin theme before using it on your live site or you want
0:11
to test a particular plugin for a particular PHP version or you have any other purpose
0:17
like you want to design a part of your website and then you can make it live to your original
0:22
site so whatever be the reason you need a test WordPress website
0:28
So how you can easily create a test WordPress website in your Windows computer or from your
0:33
mobile devices let's check in this video. So the first option is to install WordPress locally on your computer so if you are using
0:42
like Windows or Mac then you can easily install a software called LocalWP
0:47
So this software allows you to install WordPress locally on your computer and all the file
0:52
will be stored on your local computer and you can easily create a WordPress website
0:57
manage it from there in this software. So the next option you can use like testwp.com so it will easily create a test WordPress
1:06
website for you and you can easily test your theme or plugin using this plugin
1:11
So I will go through each method one by one and there is this WordPress playground
1:16
So WordPress also allows us to set up a test WordPress website
1:20
So as you can see that when you click on the try WordPress playground button it will automatically
1:25
install the WordPress in your browser. Yes you heard that right WordPress will be installed in your browser and you can store
1:32
all the files in your local computer or you can store the file in the browser itself
1:38
So alright as you can see that the WordPress website installed in our browser and you can
1:43
easily go to the dashboard here so just click on dashboard here
1:47
So the response time is little slow that's because it is running in your browser and
1:53
as you can see that you can see WordPress dashboard like this
1:56
So you can go to the plugins and you can see the install plugins here
2:00
So it will take some time to load the pages as you can see that and here if you want to
2:05
delete a plugin you can simply delete this plugin like this and if you refresh this page
2:11
the WordPress website will be gone. So for this you need to give the storage permission
2:16
So whether you want to store the data in browser or whether you want to store the data in local
2:21
devices or you can change the PHP version if you want to test different PHP compatibility
2:27
issue on your website or you can give the network access permission
2:30
So let's give the network access permission to install plugins in this website
2:35
So let's click on apply changes here and it will again prepare the WordPress website
2:40
So every time if you refresh the page it will gone otherwise you have to give the storage
2:46
permission here. So I don't recommend this option because it is very slow and it's not that good
2:53
You can use this website testwp.com to install a quick test WordPress website for you and
3:00
you can use it from your mobile devices as well. So just you need to visit this website testwp.com and here you need to click on the agree term
3:10
and condition and set it up like this and it will instantly create a demo WordPress
3:14
website for you and it will show the site name, username and password
3:19
So just click on access it now to automatically login to your WordPress admin panel and it
3:25
will redirect to your WordPress dashboard and as you can see that the WordPress dashboard
3:29
is open. Here note that this website will be automatically deleted in 48 hours so you have 2 days to
3:37
test your WordPress website. And if you go for premium plan then you can extend the expiry date here but I don't need
3:47
this and 2 days more than sufficient to test theme or plugin and here you can see the function
3:55
will work very flawlessly so you can easily go to any pages in the WordPress dashboard
4:02
and all the tools and everything will work perfectly fine. So you can easily create a post, you can install plugins without any issue and all
4:11
these things will be happened in the server so unlike the WordPress playground it is happening
4:16
in the browser so it will depend on your internet speed and depend on your PC configuration
4:22
but it will load very fast because it is loading from the server
4:28
And third method is the local WP so here you need to install a software on your local computer
4:34
and install WordPress locally. So I have already covered a detailed video on how to install WordPress locally on Windows
4:41
on this video so if you follow this video you will see all the detailed process how
4:46
to install the software and how to test the WordPress website. So I hope you have understand how you can easily create a test WordPress website for
4:55
you and test different themes and plugins before using it on your WordPress website
