Title: [Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] Local testing version Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Jetpack by WordPress.com] Local testing version * Resolved [jfrankli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jfrankli/) * (@jfrankli) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/) * Is there a way to activate the JetPack plugin on my locally running copy of WordPress on my MacBook? I saw a message that said “site_inaccessible”. Error Details: The Jetpack server was unable to communicate with your site [IXR -32300: transport error: http_request_failed Couldn’t resolve host ‘wptest’] * Is there a way to make this work in my local development environment? The web site that I run is only locally accessible on my Mac. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 35 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [Tim Moore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tmoorewp/) * (@tmoorewp) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840466) * Currently, no, it is not possible. We are considering ways to make this available so folks can test Jetpack with development sites, but I don’t have an ETA on if or when it will be possible. * [Jan-Willem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janwoostendorp/) * (@janwoostendorp) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840722) * I can understand that jetpack needs wp.com for the comments and stats, but there is no reason that the widgets and the gallery isn’t accessible locally * [onepack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onepack/) * (@onepack) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840774) * I have two modules activated that jetpack can replace but I have no way to test this. It’s not an option to do this on a busy site so offline testing is mandatory. Now I can only use it for the stats. * [Devin Walker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlocc/) * (@dlocc) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840780) * +1 for local development capability. * [Nadreck](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nadreck/) * (@nadreck) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840786) * +1 as well. This is a pretty major hindrance to the development cycle. * [Little Boy Running](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvauchel/) * (@mvauchel) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840797) * +1 yep, what they said… I think developers would be more than OK to accept that some features or obviously not available when the website is not public. Needing to dev on a live server is really time consuming… Thanks! * [squeakydave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/squeakydave/) * (@squeakydave) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840798) * +2 from me. Jetpack consolidates quite a bit of useful functionality in one up- datable place. Ideal for my clients. Offline testing is a must. * [phoenixMagoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phoenixmagoo/) * (@phoenixmagoo) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-jetpack-by-wordpresscom-local-testing-version/#post-2840799) * +1 from me.
