WordPress Studio roadmap
WordPress Studio is an open source local development app, with community input driving what we build. While we don’t commit to specific release dates, we aim to ship two releases per month: one focused on bug fixes and performance, and one introducing new features or capabilities.

Actively in development
These features are in active development and targeted for upcoming releases.
Blueprints
Blueprints will allow you to spin up a fully configured Studio site in seconds. Skip the repetitive setup — just pick a ready-made blueprint created by the Studio team or use your own that’s preconfigured with your favorite plugins, themes, and settings already in place.
Xdebug
Xdebug support is coming to Studio — a feature many developers have been asking for. You’ll be able to step through code, inspect variables, and debug local sites without relying on var_dump() or guesswork.
Studio CLI 2.0
The Studio CLI will be enhanced to offer expanded capabilities. These include site creation, editing, and deletion, as well as syncing, importing, exporting, and WP-CLI support.
Performance enhancements
We’re continually integrating improvements from WordPress Playground to streamline Studio’s architecture. It’s an ongoing effort to reduce overhead and make both the app and your local sites faster and more responsive with each release.
Improved onboarding and updates
We’re working on a new onboarding email series to help you get the most out of Studio. You’ll get tips for optimizing your workflow, along with updates whenever new features are released.
