What's up! Saas Masters.
My name is George and today I'm going
to show you a completely free tool that's called TasteWP.
This one is great for developers who don't want to risk making changes on a live site
for newbies who don't want to risk also making those changes on a live site.
So you can use TasteWP or even just
to play around to check out what you can do with WordPress.
If you don't have any experience at all,
you can do this without even having to host this WordPress site.
Everything is done here on TasteWP.
Plus, like I said before, it's completely free.
So let's go check out TasteWP right now.
Okay guys, this is the TasteWP site
and there will be a referral link in the description.
What that link gets me is that for every
three sign ups I get one site that doesn't expire, but it's limited to three sites.
So once I get three sites, I will be removing my link.
And don't be shy to add your own referral link in the comments so people use it.
Okay, so one of the things we're first
going to test out is TasteWP without even signing up.
They don't have my email,
they don't have anything and I'm able to use this to experiment.
So if you don't sign up, you get two days of experimental.
Alright, so once the two days expire, the site just shuts down and you can
install a new one if you like to play around again.
If you sign up, you get seven days.
All right, so those are the two differences with sign up and not sign up.
Plus you get a little few tweaks
on the sign up, like having templates and all that.
I'll show you those in a bit.
So this is incognito mode.
I am not signed up just to show you how
easy this is to play around with WordPress.
I can go ahead and set it up right now.
Just everything has default it'll install
it and I can test it out or I can go into advanced setup and change a few things.
So for example, I can change the WordPress version.
They even have beta versions available that I can play around with.
Just in case I want to clone my site
inside of here and I want to play around with van versions.
Or if I want to play around with PHP version.
For example, right now the latest PHP is 8.0 and maybe you're afraid to upgrade
to 8.0 because it might break your site.
So you can clone your site in inside up here, upgrade PHP version and test it out.
See if everything's working fine,
then you're good to go to do it on your live site.
So let's use a zero for this test and we
have some advanced WP config settings if we want to enable or disable these.
And also we have choose preinstalled plugin themes.
So for example, these are pre installed.
But if we don't want to use these, we can remove them.
All right.
And we can set a custom name if we're logged in.
If we're not logged in, it'll just randomly create a link.
Okay, agree to terms and conditions and let's go create the site.
It's doing it right now.
Like I said before, I'm not signed up.
I'm just testing it out and it's going to do it automatically.
There we go. We have our site.
It took 9.3 seconds to create this site.
This is the site name.
It auto created it for me.
Here's the subdomain.
TasteWP com.
Alright, here's the admin user and the password.
Like I said before, this will expire in two days.
Let's go access it.
I mean, we have the link, the username and the password.
If you want to share this with someone that you want them to play around, well,
you give them those access details and they can start testing it out.
So this is how it starts out.
We'll see the expiration date. Here it goes.
Two days. All right.
So in two days since I'm not logged in, it will expire.
So we got that. It's.
Okay.
And here it is, a brand new WordPress install that I can play around with.
I can install plugins, I can do anything I want.
And this is not my live site, so I'm not risking anything.
I can go ahead and install plugins if I want.
I can update. I can install themes if I like.
Also.
So for example, if I go to themes, let's go there.
We can add a brand new theme.
We can pull it in from one of the ones
that are available on WordPress, or we can upload our own theme.
Like I said before, you can play around.
These plugins were installed because I selected them to be on because they're
just by default, but we can remove them if we like.
But like I said before, you can play around with this,
you can install your backup and restore plug in and just bring in your site,
play around with it, change the PHP version and all of that.
Okay, this is just without being logged in.
Now let's go into a logged in version.
This is my logged in version. Let's go over here.
All right. So here are my test sites.
Alright, that I've been playing around with.
I am not logged in. So what can I do?
Well, I can change things.
Like, I can go to login site because it was saved.
I can reset the password, disable all plugins, download, debug log.
I can change the PHP version and I can delete the site.
These are options that I get if I am signed in.
All right. And this is all completely free.
Differences are that they expire in seven days instead of two.
Now, these things might be changing
in the future, but that's how it works right now.
Like I said before about the affiliate
program, it's actually a referral program for every three people who sign up.
You get one non expiring site up to three.
So like I mentioned before,
the ones I have my three, I'll remove my referral link.
So don't be shy to comment.
Go to affiliate program and put your own link in the comments.
So people sign up with that link.
Please, guys, help out each other.
Okay, let's go to create a brand new site.
We can do the same options that we have
from the example I made already, but we can also name this.
So for example, I can say SaaS Master will
be the sub domain, and I'm good with all these settings.
And let's go with wait, create a site.
Okay, here's my site, and it's SaaS Maste.Tastewp.com, here are my details.
Let's go access it.
Now, remember, I am now logged in.
This was created with a login info. Right.
Let's work this out. See, there.
Now it's seven days expiration.
So we have more time to work with this site if we're logged in.
And if we have that non expirational site,
which is pretty cool because I can use this forever.
Now, the cool part about it is that I can clone the site that I'm using now my live
site, and I can still keep updating plugins PC versions on this test site
that doesn't expire every single time before I actually do it on my live site.
So I don't have to do it every single time
to create an account, a site, and all that.
I could have my not expiry site there.
And we can have more things like we can create templates.
So, for example, site templates are pretty
cool because I'm gonna show you what you can do with it.
First of all, it's a template that's always going to work.
Everything is set as default.
I can set what I want on or now, and this is a test.
Oh, testtemplate.
All right. And
let's go ahead and continue.
And now we have more options.
What plugins do I want?
Preinstalled every single time that I use these test template.
Let's just say I am always using word
fence, which is one of the plugins that help you with security.
All right, so I want work fence on the site, because maybe
if I don't have it and I'm doing tests, but I do have it on my live site,
something could go wrong because it'll interfere with other plugins.
So, yes, use the same plugins that you
have on your live site here, and you can select all the plugins that you use.
For example, WP smush something that I use sometimes with it's a free site aside,
I'm working with someone that just doesn't pay.
For example, I'll use something that's
free and just search for all the ones that you use.
Let's go next.
And now we can select the theme.
Let's just say I'm going to use Ostra for this.
He should be here.
There it is. All right, pick.
So it's gonna use the Astra theme every single time.
Let's go.
Summary, So this is what's going
to happen, and I can go try it or just save it every time that I want to create
a site with that template, I can just go ahead and use the template.
I've used this one one time.
This is the template name,
the plugins that are going to be used and the theme and the usage.
So everything is made more easily.
With this, we can also upload our own plugins that we use every time.
So, yes, it's really useful.
Now we have the site manager here.
These are the sites that are created.
I've just been played around, so I can delete these sites without any problem.
Now, there is a limit to the amount of sites that you can create.
But like I said before, they expire every seven days one created.
So do consider that.
But basically, that is TasteWP.
It's a super useful tool for developers, even for me.
When I'm making videos for you guys that I'm just testing out a plugin,
what easier way instead of the way I was doing it last time where I had to host
the WordPress site, I had to reset it every single time that I
did a new video for you guys with the WordPress plugin.
Well, that's over. I'm gonna use TasteWP.
I'm gonna install the plugin really quickly, and I'm gonna get started to
make the wideo more faster than I would the other way around.
All right. But there you go.
I mean, create sites really easily and start testing them out.
They will be implementing other things like hosting.
They don't have that available yet, but that's something that they're working on.
We can see it here.
So you could send newbies here to experience a WP onboarding tour.
That's pretty cool.
And they are going to add hosting with them.
So that's something that's coming later on.
But for now, it's.
Well, that's still going to be free.
The part where you create a website,
play around with it developed or whatever you want to do with it.
But it's free.
Man, don't forget to sign up.
Like I said before, that referral link will be in the description.
Once I get those three sites, I'll remove my link.
So use the links that are on the comments to help each other out.
Well, guys, I thank you for watching. My name is George.
This is SaaS Master. And I'll see you guys later.
