Question about URL location

    I understand that I am in the same database, with different tables.
    I understand that my entire site’s files are copied to mysite.com/sandbox/whatever.

    But what makes me feel uneasy about using the plugin, is that when I browse my changes, I am in the same live URL, mysite.com.
    I’d feel better I were viewing mysite.com/sandbox/whatever.

    And is there not a way to send the URL to another person to view? For example I had a help desk support ticket in with WooCommerce and needed to show them the breakage but I couldn’t keep my live site up with the broken files. I would have loved to send them to mysite.com/sandbox/whatever but that url said, “page not found”.

    Unfortunately WordPress and a lot of plugins do not handle base URL changes gracefully. If you were able to access the folder directly, the site would almost definitely be broken and require a fair amount of changes to the database to make it display properly. This is actually the main reason why I created this plugin.

    I am working on an update that would allow e-mailing of a link to allow someone access to a sandbox. This could help with support tickets or demos to clients. I currently though do not know when I will finish and release this feature.
