Instawp comment: Easily create WordPress sandbox website

Can you just click a button to create a new wordpress installation?

You can easily test the plug -in from WordPress.org, start working on the new client site, and even let your customers preview your plug -in to be sold to convince them to buy.

Instawp is a service that can handle all these use cases and so on. You only need to click a button to start the new WordPress installation, including using preset templates and configuration to save time. You can even share the link to let others use your template to start the website -more.

In our InstaWP comments, we will experience this tool and show you how to use it to improve your WordPress workflow.

Instawp comments: From the perspective of high levels, it has its role

The basic premise of Instawp is very simple:

It allows you (or others) to quickly start the new WordPress installation. There is no trouble in hosting -you only need to click a few buttons to install a work WordPress that can be used for testing or development.

Imagine them into a sandbox WordPress website.

You can install the site as a blank new WordPress installation. Alternatively, you can create your own template to automatically pre -install certain themes and plugins or configuration settings in some way (such as the PHP version of the sandbox).

You can let the website expire automatically after a certain period of time, or let it exist until you delete it manually.

So -what purpose can you use these sandbox websites for? I see three main use cases:

1. Test things for your own website -You can do it before installing the new plug -in or theme to your real -time website test. Or, you can try different settings and configurations.
2. Establish a customer site -You can use the site to develop the customer site. By hosting on Instawp instead of using local development tools, you can getEnough to access the site from anywhere and share real -time links with your customers for the benefits of review.
3. Let the potential customers test your WordPress plug -in or theme -If you sell your own plug -in or theme, you can configure it so that potential customers can easily start the sandbox to test to test Essence You can install the plug -in you sell in advance so that people can start testing immediately.

Here are some other functions worth noting:

• ] Baibiao Customs Domain -You can use your custom scope to the sandbox site. If you are an agency or you are providing testing your WordPress plug -in, this is great.

Complete access

• -You can still access through FTP, SSH, database editing, etc. Team members -You can create a team and add other team members, which is very useful for agents.

SLACK Integration

– You only need to enter

/wp

in SLACK to create a new WordPress installation.

chrome integration – You can use the Chrome extension program to add a button to the WordPress.org theme and plug -in page to create a pre -installed installation of the extension program. New site -very suitable for fast testing new plug -ins.

How to use InstawP to create a WordPress website

Since you know the function of Instawp, let us understand how to use Instawp to start the website.

I will first show you how to create a blank WordPress installation. This will not take a long time. Time, because it is very simple. I will then introduce some more advanced functions, such as creating preset templates or configurations.

After creating a new WordPress installation

Register a free Instawp account, you can click the \”

new site in the instrument board\”

site \”

tab via you \”

or

\” Add New \”
• button to create a new site:

This will open a pop -up window. You can configure the basic knowledge of the site:

WordPress version.

PHP version.

Default configuration (

Site name.

Or, you can also create a website based on the template, I will also introduce in the next section:

It is just that so! You have a work WordPress installation. 您可以使用提供的凭据登录，也可以单击自动登录按钮，只需单击链接即可登录（无需手动输入用户名和密码）：

[123 ]

Inside the WordPress instru The installation is exactly the same. You can install plugins and themes, adjust settings, add users, etc.

Visit your website and use tools

In addition to visiting the WordPress instrument board by clicking the automatic login link, Instawp also provides you with many other tools to access and manage your site, you, you You can use these tools from site

instrument board:

Open database Options allow you to allow you to be in adminer Open the database of the site:

code editor

button to open a browser inner code editor, you can edit it in it All core files, plugins and themes. This is very convenient for fast editing without using FTP (

, although you can also do this ). You can also create new files:

• [ [ [

[] 123] In the drop -down list, you can also perform the following operations:

• Use the built -in Migrate Guru integrated

123] To real -time hosting. Migrate Guru is my personal favorite migration plug -in, so I think this is a good choice and very convenient.

• Export the site

to ZIP files in LocalWP (for local development).

• Visit FTP/SSH .

Map the custom domain

to this sandbox site.

Reserve the site

so that it will not expire automatically (
• AKA creates permanent installation until you manually delete it ).
• Create templates and configurations In order to help you save time when creating a site, Instawp allows you to set up two types of presets:

123] Configuration

– This allows you to create presets for technical details such as PHP version, WordPress version, PHP configuration, WordPress configuration, and other technical details. You can also install some plug -in or themes.

Template

– This allows you to save existing sites as templates. Then you can use this template to create a new site, which looks exactly the same as the original site.

Configuration You can create a new configuration from the \” configuration \” tab from the dashboard.

• Each configuration has three settings tabs:

[

• 123] General – WordPress and PHP versions.

PHP

– PHP configuration settings (such as memory limit or maximum upload size).

WordPress-

The most flexible. You can add topics and plug -ins any direct URLs from wordpress.org or any direct url. You can also enable multi -site installation.

You can create any amount of configuration as needed -they will be displayed in the sidebar of the interface. Then, you can choose the configuration when creating the new WordPress site:

Template The template is similar to the configuration. But I canThe main difference is that the template is allowed to install the plug -in/theme in advance, , but also

to save your settings.

For example, the configuration can allow you to pre -installed the Spotlight plug -in, but the template can allow you to do this. The same is true of theme settings, user settings, WordPress settings, etc.

To create a template, please open the drop -down list of existing sites to be stored as a template, and then select

Save another template

option.

This will open a slide, you can configure some options in them:
• Template name and description

-This help you remember its role to remember its role Essence

• Enable sharing

-This allows others to create a template-based creation site by clicking the link. If you are a theme/plug -in developer and want to provide a test site for potential customers, then this is what you want to use. What the customer needs to do is click the shared link, and they can create their own test installation.

• Instant template

-This will automatically create a site based on the template (without additional user operations). If you want to share the template, this will be particularly useful.

If you do use the sharing, you will get some additional options. A good feature is that you can choose to ask people to enter their emails (then you can collect these emails). This allows you to use the test site as a potential customer generation tool.

You can even customize the email received by people and add it to your own brand Middle:

After creating the template, it will be displayed in the \” template \” tab:

You can also select the template when creating a new site:

If you Create a shared template, and people will get a beautiful login page when clicking the link (if you need an email to choose to join):

Use Chrome extension

If you need to test a lot of plug -in and themes, Instawp also provides a convenient Chrome extension.

When you activate the Chrome extension, it will add a new

startup button to the WordPress.org theme and plug -in page.

If you click the button, it will automatically create a new WordPress site and

pre -installed the topic or plug -in you are viewing. I think you can’t create any simpler ways to test the topic and plug -in:

Instawp pricing

Instawp provides free and paid plans.

Generally speaking, if you just want to test temporary users who are trying to test something, the free plan should work normally.

However, if you are a freelancer or agency agency (

or individual users who just build a large number of sites

), you may want one of the paid plans. If you are the owner of WordPress product, you want potential customers to test your plug -in or theme before buying, and the situation is the case.

Free plan provides the following services:

Create up to five activity sites.

The website expired two days later (

There was no way to create permanent installation on free plans, this is why it is more suitable for short -term test

).

The final idea of \u200b\u200bInstawp

In general, I was impressed by Instawp.

Instawp is not the first tool for providing such one -button sandbox WordPress installation. However, I do think it is a step further than other tools I use, and it makes you accessible functions that you can access.

For example, assuming you are a temporary user who wants to test plug -in and themes. The Chrome extension program makes new installations directly from wordpress.org to become very simple without manual installation of the expansion program.

If you are building a client site, then you will also get many convenient workflow functions:

When starting a new project, you can use configuration and templates to save time.

You can quickly edit your code or access the database in the browser to save time.

You can add white labels to the domain name and create a custom experience for your customers.

After completion, you can use Migrate Guru to integrate it easily to real -time hosting.

Or, if necessary, you can also pull it to LocalWP.

1. Finally, if you sell your plug -in or theme, you will also get useful functions:
2. You can save the exact configuration template you want to share with people Essence The most important thing is that you can configure your plug -in in the best way to ensure that people have a good experience.
3. You will get shared links. You can add this link to your login page or share in other ways. People only need to click the link to create their website.
4. You can ask people to enter their emails to use them for potential customers (and minimize resources waste). If you want to create a custom experience, you can use your logo and domain name to add a white label as a login page. You can also customize the email received by people.

If you want to test it, you can register a free version to view its working principle.

However, most of the unique features are in the paid version, so you need to upgrade to get the best experience.
