Hello everyone! Here you can learn how to obtain a Wordpress website basically for free (forever). We are going to use this website: https://wpsandbox.org/ which allows you to try a free wordpress instance for 24 hours (but we are going to workaround this limitation :cool:). So you will have a wordpress instance that will never expire and you can do what you want here!

1. Go to https://wpsandbox.org/
2. Check the "Enable (S)FTP access" box and click the button "CREATE TEST SITE"
3. Instantly copy all the infos shown just after the process is done (before you getting redirected)
4. Now you are to the wordpress admin page, so go to plugins and install "Advanced File Manager"
5. Once done, create a folder named "wp-content-real" inside htdocs and copy all the content from wp-content to wp-content-real, except mu-plugins folder (IMPORTANT)
6. If you get an error about "plugins" folder not copied, don't worry. Just go to "wp-content-real" and create a folder named "plugins"
7. Now, just open the wp-config.php file that is inside htdocs folder (right click then edit) and find this line: /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
8. Copy the code below just before that line:
define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content-real' );
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://yourlink.eu1.wpsandbox.org/wp-content-real');
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content-real/plugins' );
define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', 'https://yourlink.wpsandbox.org/wp-content-real/plugins');
define( 'PLUGINDIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content-real/plugins' );
9. Modify with your real link and save.
10. DONE!

???
1. I don't see why anyone would need such an install.
2. How long you think it'll take wpsandbox.org to discover there are installs that are active for more than 24 hours and then put a stop on it?
1 For test and development.
2 Made a test site 5 days ago and still going
