Test Mode

Core, plugins and theme go into Test Mode.

There are three possible modes for each module.

1. no change ✅
2. test mode 🚧
3. disabled 🚫

The admin bar shows the current WordPress environment and each module's mode with a status emoji.

Available modules

• WP Environment: sets WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE to staging in test mode, or local when disabled.
• Disallow robots: sets blog_public to 0 in both test mode and disabled mode.
• Cron events: stops cron requests in both test mode and disabled mode.
• Action Scheduler: stops queue and asynchronous request processing in both test mode and disabled mode.
• Mail: redirects all outgoing mail to the site admin in test mode. Disabled mode uses FluentSMTP simulation when available, or blocks mail at the WordPress level otherwise.
• Outbound HTTP requests: allows only same-site and explicitly approved requests in test mode, or disables all HTTP requests entirely.
• MakeCommerce payment gateway: uses the sandbox in test mode, or disables its payment and shipping methods entirely.

Recommended plugins

• Airplane Mode: disables external assets, avatars, or embeds.
