This is an archive. The original Poopy.life sandbox service is closed — nothing on this domain can create a WordPress site for you. Here is what to use instead.

Create a free WordPress test site

This used to be the button. poopy.life/create handed you a clean WordPress install on its own subdomain, and it is the URL most tutorials and forum replies point at. It no longer creates anything. Below are the three replacements worth knowing, in the order most people need them.

1. In your browser, in about five seconds

Best when you want to check whether a bug survives on a clean install and nobody else needs to see it.

  1. Open playground.wordpress.net. A complete WordPress, including the admin, boots inside the tab. There is no signup and no server involved.

  2. You are already logged in as an administrator. Install the plugin or theme you are testing the usual way, from Plugins → Add New.

  3. To skip that step, hand Playground a Blueprint in the URL. This boots with a plugin already installed and active:

    https://playground.wordpress.net/?plugin=query-monitor&url=/wp-admin/
The catch

Playground runs entirely in your own browser. Closing the tab discards the site, and nobody else can open your URL and see it — there is no server hosting it. Use the export button if you want to keep the result. Details and limits on the Playground page.

2. A hosted site with a real address you can share

Best when you need to paste a working link into a support ticket, a bug report or a message to a client — the thing poopy.life was actually used for.

  1. Go to tastewp.com and create a site. Signing in is optional but it extends the lifetime.

  2. You get a hosted WordPress on its own address with admin access. As of 10 September 2026 TasteWP states that a site made while signed out “is valid for 2 days”, and seven days when signed in.

  3. To hand someone a link that already has the plugin installed, use the one-link parameter documented by TasteWP:

    https://tastewp.com/new?pre-installed-plugin-slug=query-monitor

3. On your own machine, with a temporary public link

Best when the test needs to outlive a browser tab, needs to send email, or needs to be handed to somebody for a week.

  1. Install Studio (free, macOS, Windows and Linux) or Local by WP Engine (free).

  2. Create a site in the app. It runs on your machine, so it survives reboots and you control the PHP and WordPress versions.

  3. When someone else needs to see it, publish a temporary link: Studio calls these preview sites — ten free, and each stays live for seven days after the last update, with your laptop closed. Local calls the equivalent Live Links, which work while the app is running.

Here is a version to paste. “Please try to reproduce this on a clean install. The quickest options are playground.wordpress.net, which runs WordPress in your browser with no signup, or tastewp.com, which gives you a temporary site on a real URL you can share with us.”
