How LeonLab controls WordPress — from Playground to live site.
Use LeonLab as your WordPress control layer: build plugins and snippets, manage users, run WooCommerce actions, read reports, test in Playground and ship to a live site when you are ready.
LeonLab brings Playground, WordPress control, and live deployment into one chat workflow.
You do not have to connect a project immediately. Start in the Default Workspace, test plugin ideas in WordPress Playground, and connect a live site only when you need real WordPress data, users, WooCommerce, or deployments.
Build plugins and snippets
Build WordPress plugins, snippets, and shortcodes remains a core workflow: describe what WordPress should do, let Leon generate code, and test the result first in Playground or later on your connected site.
Control WordPress from chat means creating users, resetting passwords, querying WooCommerce data, reading reports, or executing existing endpoints — once a site is connected.
WordPress Playground for previews and tests replaces the old staging-first assumption: shortcodes, plugin ideas, and UI flows can be checked in Playground before you connect or deploy to a live site.
One account for Playground tests, plugin ideas, WordPress control, and live deployments.
Go to leonlab.ai and click "Start free". Sign up with email or Google — no credit card needed. You land directly in your LeonLab dashboard and can start in the Default Workspace without creating a live-site project immediately.
You can work in Playground first and connect a real WordPress site later.

Built for peace of mind
Preview in Playground first, then control live WordPress deliberately.
LeonLab protects WordPress control with Playground previews, HMAC-verified requests, confirmations for live actions, error logs, and automatic recovery.
Test in WordPress Playground, then deploy live
For generated plugins, shortcodes, and UI ideas, you can use WordPress Playground first. Once the result fits, connect a real WordPress site and deploy or run live actions deliberately.

Playground is ideal for previews and tests. For real users, WooCommerce data, logs, or live deployments, connect a project.
Your site detects errors and protects itself
The LeonLab Connector watches every active snippet. If one triggers a PHP error, the plugin catches it before your site crashes.
1Snippet activated on your WordPress site
2Error detected — plugin catches it before it breaks your site
3Snippet automatically deactivated
4Error report sent to LeonLab with full details
5Leon can read the error, patch the code, and redeploy
If a generated snippet breaks, the LeonLab Connector catches it before visitors hit the error. The snippet is deactivated, your site stays online, and Leon gets the report it needs to patch and redeploy.
Two secure connection methods
API Key or Application Password: choose based on what Leon should control in WordPress.
You do not need both methods for every task. API Key fits Connector-based deployments, while Application Password enables live actions and wp-admin-style WordPress control.
LeonLab Connector Plugin
API Key
Generated in the LeonLab Connector plugin. LeonLab signs every request with HMAC-SHA256, the same pattern used by AWS, Stripe and GitHub webhooks. Use it for Plugin Maker, Snippet Builder and code deployment.
Plugin Maker — generate and deploy PHP plugins
Snippet Builder — inject and manage code snippets
Direct REST endpoint calls with HMAC verification
Version history and rollback for every deployment
Code deployment & plugin management
Built into WordPress
Application Password
Built into WordPress since WP 5.6. Lets LeonLab authenticate as a WordPress admin without sharing your real login password. Required for Live Actions, user management, and any wp-admin API call.
Live Actions — create users, reset passwords, send emails
Batch operations on users, posts, and settings
Full wp/v2 and WordPress REST API access
WooCommerce and plugin management via wp-admin
Live operations & user management
Do I need to set up both methods?
No — not immediately. For Playground and ideas, you do not need a live connection. For code deployment, start with the API Key. For live actions, user management, WooCommerce, and wp-admin-style control, use Application Password.
