We’re excited to announce that WPGraphQL v1.29.2 now supports Live Preview functionality on WordPress.org, powered by WordPress Playground. This integration makes it easier than ever for developers to experience WPGraphQL firsthand without any installation or setup required.

Instant Access to GraphQL in WordPress

Starting with version 1.29.2, visitors to the WPGraphQL plugin page on WordPress.org can click the “Live Preview” link to instantly launch a fully functional WordPress environment in their browser.

This environment comes pre-loaded with WPGraphQL and provides immediate access to the GraphiQL IDE.

Zero Setup Required

Thanks to WordPress Playground, trying out WPGraphQL is now as simple as:

Visit the WPGraphQL plugin page on WordPress.org
Click the “Live Preview” link
Start exploring the GraphQL API in your browser

All you need is a web browser and an internet connection – no local development environment, no plugin installation, and no configuration required.

Perfect for Quick Evaluation

This new feature is particularly valuable for:

Developers evaluating WPGraphQL for their projects
Teams wanting to quickly demonstrate WPGraphQL capabilities
Learning and exploring GraphQL queries in a WordPress context
Testing compatibility with WordPress core features

What’s Next?

While the Live Preview feature provides a great way to explore WPGraphQL’s capabilities, remember that for production use, you’ll want to install WPGraphQL directly on your WordPress site. The Live Preview environment is perfect for testing and exploration, but it’s temporary and resets between sessions.

We’re excited to see how this new feature helps more developers discover and experiment with WPGraphQL. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Have you tried the new Live Preview feature? We’d love to hear your feedback in the WPGraphQL Discord below or on GitHub.
