Demo My WordPress is a powerful plugin designed to let potential customers fully experience WordPress products, both on the backend and frontend, through temporary demo sites. It allows users to explore themes, plugins, and features in a dedicated, isolated environment, ensuring no interference between demos. This tool is perfect for showcasing WordPress products to users without risk or disruption.
Key Features:
- Dedicated and Isolated Demo Sites:
- Each customer gets their own dedicated demo site, hosted separately to prevent conflicts between users.
- Ability to Use Plugins:
- Customers can fully use any plugins in the demo environment, helping them better appreciate the features and quality of your product.
- Template Cloning:
- Create a “template” demo site with all your desired settings and functionalities. Each new demo site automatically clones this template, ensuring consistency across all demos.
- Shortcode Form for Easy Access:
- Use a shortcode to add a demo generator form anywhere on your website. This form allows users to create their own demo site instantly.
- Automatic Demo Cleanup:
- Automatically clear generated demo websites at intervals you define, ensuring your system stays clean and efficient.
- NOINDEX Demo Pages:
- Set generated demo pages as NOINDEX to avoid affecting SEO or search engine rankings.
- Multisite Install Compatibility:

- Tutorials and Updates:
- Includes a tutorial video for setting up multisite installs and cloning the main site. Version 1.0.5 introduced the ability to clone the main site for new demo websites.
Benefits:
