Setting the Environment

Currently, we have different ways to set up a new environment for tests: Jurassic Ninja, TasteWP for online environments. We recommend using Jurassic Ninja or TasteWP. Why? It’s easier to share the instance with others to debug. Here we’ll explain how to set up each of them:

Jurassic Ninja

This one is pretty simple, go to Create – Jurassic Ninjawait a few seconds, and the environment is up for seven days =D You’ll need to install the plugins or themes you want to test. Also, you can share the user and password to the website created with others, so it’s easier to debug when needed.

TasteWP

This one is also pretty simple: go to Free WordPress Hosting – TasteWP, agree with the terms, and click on Set it up! the new environment is up for two days. Like Jurassic Ninja, you need to install the plugins or themes you want to test and share the user and password for the environment.

Installing new plugins and themes

The easier way to install a plugin is to download the generated plugin build for the PR into GitHub; there’s a bot that posts it like this:

Theme

After downloading the new build, you can install it under the Appearance menu on the Themes options. Click on the Add New button at the top of the screen; click on the Upload Theme button at the top of the screen; upload the downloaded file, and click on Install Now. After the installation, click on Activate, and then the new theme is activated. You can check how it looks on this gif:

Plugin

After downloading the new build, you can install it by going to the Plugins tab and clicking on the Add New button; click on the Upload Plugin button at the top of the screen; upload the downloaded file, and click on Install Now. After the installation, click on Activate, and the new plugin is activated. You can check how to do it in this gif:
