<p>Test plugins and themes or allow visitors to interact with your website for demo or testing purposes without saving any changes in the database.</p>
<h3>Details</h3>
<p>The Rewind WP website interacts with the Rewind WP plugin to create a snapshot of your website and restore it after a certain duration has passed.</p>
<p>This plugin requires registering for API key at <a href="https://rewindwp.com" rel="nofollow ugc">https://rewindwp.com</a>.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>You will need to have WP-CLI and the ZipArchive PHP modules installed on your server to use this plugin.</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Doing a site backup zipped to more than 2 GB may fail</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Backing up a database of more than 2 GB may fail</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Settings page may not always appear with the correct information — the plugin is pulling in the database snapshot which may not always<br />
reflect the accurate settings, which are actually being pulled from the Rewind WP server</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Occasionally, you may see error messages of database tables missing ~ don’t worry about it ~ the plugin may have been<br />
attempting to load in the database and if you are loading mid-page, you may have loaded a database without all of the data<br />
fully implemented</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>“Publishing failed. Invalid post ID.” This message occurs when you are attempting to do something, such as write a post, page, or upload a<br />
media file  and the database is reset. The postid is no longer a valid ID since it is no longer in the database.<br />
You will need to create a new post completely and ensure you allow enough time for posts to be created.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Additional Info</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Any inactive plugins and themes will be deleted upon rewind</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The free version of the plugin does not backup and cannot restore physical assets including media files, themes, or plugins</p>
<ul>
<li>In other words: if a theme or plugin is deleted, once the data is restored, it will think it still has the files and<br />
attempt to load them, but give error messages</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Configuration information is sent to Rewind WP for official authenticity, instead of relying on the WordPress database</p>
</li>
</ul>

Rewind WP

Automatically rewind your WordPress website.

Dougal Campbell

<p>By default, the only way to see how a new theme looks on your site is to<br />
activate it, making it visible to everyone who visits. With this plugin, it<br />
is possible to view how a new theme looks without activating it.</p>
<h3>TODO</h3>
<p>Possible future enhancements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add an options screen.</li>
<li>Allow choice of theme to preview from a known list of installed themes.</li>
<li>Provide persistent previews by setting a cookie.</li>
<li>Restrict preview ability by user Roles/Capabilities.</li>
<li>Child-theme friendliness.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p>May not work properly with child themes. This is because it will not be able<br />
to inherit from the parent theme as it normally would.</p>


Theme Preview

Allows you test how a theme looks on your site without activating it.
