If you have a free WordPress plugin on WordPress.org or GitHub, you may be eligible for a free hosted demo on WPDemo.
A live plugin demo helps people understand your plugin faster. Instead of asking potential users to install it first, you can send them to a hosted demo where they can explore it in a real WordPress environment.
If your plugin is approved, we will create a hosted demo and give you a public demo link you can share.
What you get
- A free hosted WordPress plugin demo on WPDemo
- A public demo URL you can share
- A live WordPress environment for testing your plugin
- Full WordPress admin access inside the demo
- Private, temporary demo sites
- No need to host and maintain the demo yourself
Demo URL example
If your plugin is on WordPress.org, the public demo URL will usually match your plugin slug.
Example:
If your plugin is hosted on GitHub and the slug conflicts with another plugin, we may prefix it with your developer or company name.
Who this is for
This is for WordPress plugin developers who want:
- more exposure for their plugin
- a live demo link they can share
- an easier way to show how the plugin works
- a better first impression than screenshots alone
- a simpler way for potential users to try the plugin before installing it
Who is eligible
Your plugin may be eligible if:
- it is free
- it is listed on WordPress.org or GitHub
- it is a real plugin made for WordPress users
- it is suitable for a hosted demo environment
We review all submissions before publishing them.
In general, we are happy to approve legitimate, useful plugins. We may reject plugins that are spam, low quality, or have a poor security history.
Why a live plugin demo matters
A live WordPress plugin demo can help reduce friction for potential users.
Instead of trying to explain everything with screenshots, you can let people click through the plugin, explore the interface, and understand how it works on their own.
A hosted plugin demo can help people:
- see the UI before installing
- understand the plugin faster
- decide whether it fits their needs
- share the demo with teammates or clients
- click through with more confidence
