  Hi, I’d like to ask if there is a staging environment for testing in the business plan. If not is there a way or a plan that’s possible?

  Hi there,

  We do not offer a staging environment on WordPress.com, no. The closest would be to create a second site in your account to use for testing, but if you’re using plugins you’d need a Business Plan for that site as well.

  If this is for something like quickly seeing how a theme or a particular plugin works, you can use a service like jurassic.ninja. That allows you to quickly create a new WordPress site with Jetpack installed, which will automatically delete itself after a week. For the most part, such a site should work the same as a WordPress.com Business Plan site.
