Daily Tip: Plugin Test Drive Lets You Test WordPress Plugins Before Activating
November 9, 2010
Ever wanted to see how a plugin would interact on your site before activating it? Plugin Test Drive was written for just that purpose. You can test it out to see how it looks on your site and configure it properly before making it publicly activated for your visitors.
How does it work?
Plugin Test Drive works by conditionally activating the plugin based on user name or IP address. Use the IP address option if you’re testing plugins that are intended for unregistered visitors only. Select username for testing plugins that work mainly with registered users.
Check out the Plugin Test Drive homepage for more specific information on how to use it.
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
