If you sell WordPress themes or plugins, buyers want to try before they buy. TryDemoWP gives every visitor their own disposable sandbox copy of your site that destroys itself when the timer runs out.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin removes the manual step. Instead of exporting a backup, downloading it, and uploading it to TryDemoWP, you connect this site once and press a button.<\/p>\n\n
What it does<\/strong><\/p>\n\n What it deliberately leaves out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This is an export built for demos, not a backup. To keep the archive small enough to upload, it skips:<\/p>\n\n Your External service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This plugin sends data to TryDemoWP, a third-party service, and requires an account there.<\/p>\n\n Nothing is transmitted until you connect a token and press Push.<\/p>\n\n\n The push carries on in the background if you close the tab, and reopening the screen shows you where it got to. On sites where WP-Cron is disabled there is nothing to continue it, so the screen tells you to keep the tab open instead.<\/p>\n\n\n No. The plugin only reads your files and database. The only thing it writes is a temporary export file under The plugin estimates the size before packaging anything and stops if it exceeds your plan's limit, showing you which directories are responsible. You can retry without the media library, or upgrade your TryDemoWP plan.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The export runs in roughly 20-second slices and saves its position after each one, so it never depends on a single long-running request.<\/p><\/dd>\n No, as long as WP-Cron is working on your site: the push continues in the background and picks up from the same place when you come back. If WP-Cron is disabled the push screen says so and asks you to leave the tab open.<\/p><\/dd>\n Only your connect token, the name of the TryDemoWP site it is bound to, and the progress of a push in flight. Deleting the plugin removes all of it, along with the temporary export folder.<\/p><\/dd>\n A connect token is bound to a single site, so this plugin pushes to that one site. Generate a token from a different site to point it elsewhere.<\/p><\/dd>\n The upload is resumable. The plugin asks TryDemoWP where it left off and continues from that byte.<\/p><\/dd>\n The plugin needs PHP's ZipArchive extension to build the export. Most hosts have it; ask yours to enable it if the plugin reports it missing.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
wp-content<\/code> plus a database dump.<\/li>\n\n
node_modules<\/code> and .git<\/code>.<\/li>\nwp-config.php<\/code> is never included, so database credentials and security salts never leave your server. Your live site is only ever read, never modified.<\/p>\n\n\n
wp-content<\/code> directory and a filtered database dump, your site's home URL, and the plugin version, all authenticated with a connect token you generate in your TryDemoWP dashboard.<\/li>\n\n

Does this modify my live site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
wp-content\/uploads\/trydemo-sandbox-publisher\/<\/code>, which is deleted when the push finishes.<\/p><\/dd>\nMy export is too large. What now?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
My host has a low PHP time limit. Will this work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Do I have to keep the browser tab open?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
What does the plugin store on my site, and what happens if I delete it?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Can I push to more than one TryDemoWP site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
What if my connection drops during the upload?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
ZipArchive is missing on my server<\/h3><\/dt>\n
