Rewind WP

Test plugins and themes or allow visitors to interact with your website for demo or testing purposes without saving any changes in the database.

Details

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.

This plugin requires registering for API key at https://rewindwp.com.

Requirements

You will need to have WP-CLI and the ZipArchive PHP modules installed on your server to use this plugin.

Known Issues

• Doing a site backup zipped to more than 2 GB may fail

• Backing up a database of more than 2 GB may fail

• The Settings page may not always appear with the correct information — the plugin is pulling in the database snapshot which may not always
  reflect the accurate settings, which are actually being pulled from the Rewind WP server

• Occasionally, you may see error messages of database tables missing ~ don’t worry about it ~ the plugin may have been
  attempting to load in the database and if you are loading mid-page, you may have loaded a database without all of the data
  fully implemented

• “Publishing failed. Invalid post ID.” This message occurs when you are attempting to do something, such as write a post, page, or upload a
  media file and the database is reset. The postid is no longer a valid ID since it is no longer in the database.
  You will need to create a new post completely and ensure you allow enough time for posts to be created.

Additional Info

• Any inactive plugins and themes will be deleted upon rewind

• The free version of the plugin does not backup and cannot restore physical assets including media files, themes, or plugins

  • In other words: if a theme or plugin is deleted, once the data is restored, it will think it still has the files and
    attempt to load them, but give error messages

• Configuration information is sent to Rewind WP for official authenticity, instead of relying on the WordPress database
