Playground Bundler

Create portable WordPress environments by bundling your content, blocks, and plugins into shareable Playground blueprints.

The plugin automatically detects which plugins provide custom blocks and includes them in the bundle. The plugins are packaged as ZIP files and installed automatically when the blueprint runs.

Are there any file size limits?

The plugin respects WordPress upload limits and includes rate limiting to prevent server overload. Very large bundles may take longer to generate.

Can I customize the generated blueprint?

The generated blueprint follows the WordPress Playground schema and includes login credentials, plugin installation, media uploads, and post creation steps.
