Jetpack Offline Mode on Staging Sites
Switches Jetpack to offline (development) mode automatically on staging, dev and local hosts, so test copies never connect to WordPress.com or clash with the live site.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
$wpide_markers = array( 'staging', 'stage.', 'dev.', 'localhost' ); // Host fragments that mean "not live".
add_filter( 'jetpack_offline_mode', function ( $offline ) use ( $wpide_markers ) {
$host = (string) wp_parse_url( home_url(), PHP_URL_HOST );
if ( preg_match( '/\.(local|test)$/', $host ) ) {
return true;
}
foreach ( $wpide_markers as $marker ) {
if ( false !== strpos( $host, $marker ) ) {
return true;
}
}
return $offline;
} );Notes
Edit $wpide_markers to match your staging hostnames; .local and .test hosts are always included.
