Here is a map of the various state pacts formed in 2020 because of Trunp’s incompetence during the pandemic. They went dormant under Biden assuming a return to normalcy.
Now, under Trump and Project 2025, states have no option but to work together to replace a federal government being dismantled.

npm install playground-step-library
I have updated my Playground Step Library (which I had written about before)–the tool that allows you to use more advanced steps in WordPress Playground–so that it can now also be used programmatically: It is now an npm package: playground-step-library.
Behind the scenes this actually dominoed into migrating it to TypeScript and restructuring the code so that it now both powers the Web UI and the npm package.
Having those custom steps available now makes even more sense that the Playground CLI is production ready and you can use it for things like testing your WordPress plugin with Playwright, see this presentation Building Automated Tests with WordPress Playground from WordCamp Europe 2025 by my colleague Berislav “Bero” Grigicak.
In this example you can see a blueprint JSON that contains steps setSiteName and addPage that don’t exist in the library of steps of Playground. At the time of writing there are 36 custom steps with the goal of making it easier to do things that can be done with a blueprint already but need some complexity. See in the example below how creating a page can be done with runPHP and wp_insert_post but it’s visually easier with a step addPage.
import PlaygroundStepLibrary from 'playground-step-library';const compiler = new PlaygroundStepLibrary();const blueprint = { steps: [ { step: 'setSiteName', sitename: 'My Site', tagline: 'A WordPress Playground demo' }, { step: 'addPage', title: 'Welcome', content: '<p>Welcome to my site!</p>' } ]};const compiledBlueprint = compiler.compile(blueprint);console.log(compiledBlueprint);
Which turns this into a valid blueprint:
{ "steps": [ { "step": "setSiteOptions", "options": { "blogname": "My Site", "blogdescription": "A WordPress Playground demo" } }, { "step": "runPHP", "code": "\n<?php require_once '/wordpress/wp-load.php';\n$page_args = array(\n\t'post_type' => 'page',\n\t'post_status' => 'publish',\n\t'post_title' => 'Welcome',\n\t'post_content' => '<p>Welcome to my site!</p>',\n);\n$page_id = wp_insert_post( $page_args );" } ]}
You can then pass this blueprint to playground CLI to run it (see other demos by my colleague Fellyph):
import { runCLI, RunCLIServer } from '@wp-playground/cli';await runCLI({ command: 'server', login: true, blueprint: compiledBlueprint});
You can also conveniently try it out in WordPress Playground with this link (and also view in the Step Library UI).
Finally, in the repo there are a number of examples that you can browse and I created a little screen recording of a few of them:
Happy coding!

WordPress Playground Step Library
WordPress Playground is this fascinating tool that allows you to run WordPress without a server. It achieves this by running PHP in your browser by using WASM. It sounds cool, and it makes for numerous interesting demos, as its original creator Adam Zielinski showed at WordCamp Europe 2024: WordPress Playground – use WordPress without a server (recording, slides).Having built Translate Live for WordPress.org–a way to translate plugins and themes without having to use a table UI–I have a bit of experience with having WordPress Playground do more complex things. But I also know that it be a bit difficult to get started with that.
Blueprints to start a Playground
So, as you can see with Translate Live, a WordPress Playground can be booted into configurations, and these configurations are (currently) called Blueprints. They are JSONs made of options and a list of steps. You can choose from a number of available steps likeinstallPluginto share a link with someone to try something in WordPress without having to set up hosting for that.The available steps are somewhat basic but powerful. It can be abstract to think of what to do with them.
So, I had the idea that while the available steps of WordPress Playground are quite universal, we could build a library of “more meaningful” steps that do and “transpile” them to existing steps.
Build a Playground Blueprint with a Drag and Drop UI
Welcome to the WordPress Playground Step Library: Combining these steps with a click (or drag and drop) UI, it allows you do quickly create a WordPress Playground that does things you didn’t know you could easily do. Here is a screenshot:
So, for example, it could be useful when you share a WordPress Playground link to add some explanatory text, and what better to use than the infamous1 Admin Notice? But, how do you do it?Turns out, you’d need a small mu-plugin. But with a custom step, it’s just a matter of adding that step:
So such a “custom blueprint” for playground would be this:
{ "landingPage": "/", "steps": [ { "step": "showAdminNotice", "vars": { "text": "Welcome to WordPress Playground!" } } ]}
But careful. The above doesn’t run in Playground. There is no showAdminNotice step. But the Step Library automaticaly transpiles to a valid blueprint:
{ "landingPage": "/wp-admin/", "login": true, "steps": [ { "step": "mkdir", "path": "wordpress/wp-content/mu-plugins" }, { "step": "writeFile", "path": "wordpress/wp-content/mu-plugins/0-mu.php", "data": "<?php add_action( 'admin_notices', function() { echo '<div class=\"notice notice-success is-dismissible\"><p>Welcome to WordPress Playground!</p></div>'; } ); ?>" } ]}
So which one is easier to remember? 😀 You can try this blueprint in WordPress Playground now! It will look like this:
I’ve made the Step Library so when you configure it, its URL reflects to your custom steps (this is the above in the Step Library) so that you can easily share them. If you wanted to share the actual running playground, share the URL of the “Launch in Playground” link.The Playground link will start with playground.wordpress.net/, the Step Library link with akirk.github.io/playground-ste….
The Step Library is hosted on Github and you can contribute your own steps! Also happy to receive new issues with ideas of what steps might be useful to add. There also the Blueprints Gallery that showcases further uses of Playground and is also open to contributions!
So far, I have added these steps:
- changeAdminColorScheme
- createUser
- customPostType
- deleteAllPosts
- sampleContent
- setLanguage (this one is coming soon to Playground natively!)
- setSiteName
- showAdminNotice
I’m curious if this tool can help you build a WordPress Playground, please tell me by commenting via Mastodon or ActivityPub, and spread the word about the tool!
Oh, and checkout the Awesome WordPress Playground link collection if you want to learn more about Playground or check out interesting applications! Happy playing!
- This is traditionally misused by plugins to prompt you to upgrade so that your wp-admin screen can get bloated with this. To the point where there is an Admin Notices Manager plugin that allows you to keep them under control. ↩︎

My masto posts haven't gotten much attention lately. Maybe I'm not using hashtags right or all my followers dropped off when I stopped posting for months?
Ah well, i know what the "mastodon algorithm" really likes: #BLOOMSCROLLING!
Granny aloe is in bloom again! Also, I finally bothered to correctly identify it as a soap aloe, #aloe #maculata, from South Africa! Came a long way to end up on my porch! The aloe vera (not pictured) is also doing well, and I even accidentally hybridized them so now I'm growing one of a kind aloes!
