WordPress Demo Builder Plugin Highlights
To proceed with the building your first product demo you may follow the detailed guide on how to use WordPress Demo Builder plugin guide on MotoPress blog.
WordPress Demo Builder Plugin Settings:
Take full control over your product by using WordPress Demo Builder Plugin features:
Tuneable Demo Lifetime
Definite what amount of time is enough for testing your WordPress products on the backend and easily set a demo lifetime.
Each new demo user will be able to use a personal demo website (sandbox) during this time. You should not worry about any permanent unused data on the server as upon the account expiration date all modifications will be automatically cleaned up.
Automatic Cleanups
All expired accounts will be automatically cleaned up.
Every account confirmation email by default contains information about a demo lifetime, so all sandbox owners are aware that after some period of time their accounts will be deactivated. It means you should not receive any complaints on demo data loss.
Isolated Sandboxes in WordPress Demonstration
Each demo user gets their personal accounts (sandboxes), which are insensitive to the changes other users apply.
All backend tweaks stay intact till the end of a trial period. When a demo lifetime is finished, all sandbox data is permanently deleted.
User Roles and Restrictions
It’s not necessary to provide sandboxes with access to all tools and pages of a WordPress demo product. As a network administrator, you can restrict access to all needed pages by managing user roles of sandboxes.
For example, you may either block access to all posts or to just some chosen ones.
Responsive Toolbar
Why not let the users of demo accounts know more about your other products?
With WordPress Demo Site plugin, you may optionally set a responsive toolbar right in the demo dashboard to feature the list of related products and show your logo. This tool is especially useful for presenting WordPress themes and plugins, so the user can quickly switch the products and preview or test each.
MailChimp Integration
MailChimp is a well-known email marketing service. It was implemented into the plugin to help you collect the addresses of your users and keep them posted with your latest news even after their accounts are no longer in use. That’s a great way to help you transform a casual user into a client.
You may also group your potential users by interests to achieve better results.
Easy Management of Created Demos
There is a flexible set of tools within the plugin settings to easily manage all demo accounts. Each network administrator has control over created demos: to view, modify and delete them. Moreover, by visiting user accounts you can view and analyze what are the most tested tools/features of your WordPress products.
Statistics in WordPress Demo Builder
With WordPress Demonstration plugin you get access to a detailed statistic on created and activated demos during a chosen period of time.
The data presented in a table also shows a number of demos that were already deleted from the database. Statistics information is a great resource to analyze how many users are actually interested in installing/buying your WordPress products during a certain period of time.
Email Confirmation
Nobody likes spam.
Secure account confirmation by email will free you from spam attacks maximum simplifying demo accounts management process. A new sandbox is created only in case the confirmation link is clicked ensuring that you’ll deal with real people only.

Want to quickly build a demo site You are essential plugin! 
Very handy and useful plugin. 
WordPress Demo Builder works like a charm! 
Hi, great plugin! Just wondering the best way to implement the Invisible v2 ReCaptcha? I’ve setup an Invisible Google API, however it still shows the standard tick box version. Reading the Google docs I can see there may be a few extra attributes to add like data-callback=”onSubmit” and data-size=”invisible”, but I haven’t had any luck and getting the error of ‘You cannot avoid passing Captcha.’
Thanks
Hi Stef, We did not have a chance to test another version of the recapctha for Demo Builder yet. We will keep your request in mind. Thanks
I have a big issue with this plugin and no solution in sight.
All goes well with creating the demo, but after that, for the demo the front page gives a 404. I tried switching the front page, but same issue with what ever front page is set.
What is the issue and what could be a fix for this?
Hi Florin,
Make sure the network is created properly and you do not face the same issue if you create a new subsite using WordPress Multisite network. You may also check what URL you indicated to redirect demo users once the sandbox is created. You can find this option in settings of the Demo Builder.
If it is not helpful you may also submit a request to our support team.
Hi,
I found the root of the issue.
I’ve tested and it works well to create other subsite on the multisite and access them without any problem, so the issue was not there. But after testing various stuff, i’ve realised it gives 404 because there are folders created for each demo website, and if it’s a folder it tries to access the folder’s inexistent index.php.
The .htaccess is the same as suggested one. Any solutions to this issue?
Hi Florin,
Thanks for your reply. Are you able to open the links of subsites without a 404 error and with Post name permalinks? We need to take a closer look at your configurations so could you submit a request and refer to these comments so we will check your network setup?
As I told in the earlier post, yes, other subsites work and those created from this plugin work except first page. The issue? You plugin creates a folder of the same name as subsite (ex: ql2bj5pyw76sr3m). Because there is a folder it interacts with the basic .htaccess configuration you recommend there.
The issue is with how the plugin is designed
I modified this line in .htaccess and it seem to work fine
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ – [L]
For the moment all works fine, I hope it doesn’t interact with other wordpress features
Hi! One question before I buy plugin… can this be set that user chooses the name* of subsite?
For example:
http://www.demosite.com/name*
So that I make the same form that user type name* and that name will be show in url…
When I try your demo I got name n5yzqoshw8gkcmp but I want to customer choose his name not some random name…
Thank you!
Tony
Hello Tony,
Thanks for your question however there is not an option to set up custom name/URL for sandbox. It generates random name like you noted. We will keep your request in mind. Thanks.
Hello, I think this plugin is what I need.
I have only one question: is it possibile to disable the email request for the user on the demo activation window?
I would like that the user would be able to create a demo website without the need to insert his email.
Thanks
Hi Lorenzo,
Unfortunately there is no other way to register demo except inserting email and verifying it via link. We’ll keep your request in mind for further plugin development. Thanks.
