#  Changelog: VIP MU plugins [Staging]

The release window for [VIP MU plugins](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-go-mu-plugins/)
is currently Tuesdays between 08:00 and 22:00 UTC (09:00 and 23:00 UTC when Daylight
Saving Time is in effect in North America).  Changes made and deployed to the VIP
MU plugins Staging branch are labeled `[Status] Deployed to staging` and visible
in a filtered [VIP MU plugins pull request](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pulls?q=label%3A%22%5BStatus%5D+Deployed+to+staging%22+)
view.

By default, the staging branch of VIP MU plugins is deployed to one non-production
environment for all applications. This allows customers to test changes before they
are released to production environments. This also provides time for the VIP Team
to observe errors and test for bugs across a wider variety of applications.

### Plugin Updated: Security

Previous refactor of security plugin unintentionally renamed action triggered on
exceeded limit from `login_limit_exceeded` to `login_exceeded`. This change corrects
back the rename of the action.

    ```
    add_action( 'login_limit_exceeded', function() {
        // This action will be triggered again          
        ...
    });
    ```

### Disable “WP-Content Writable” test from Health Checks

WordPress 6.3 adds the ability for failed plugin and theme updates to be automatically
rolled back. The feature requires a temp directory in `wp-content/` to function.

As part of this feature, a new Health Check is added to ensure that the WordPress
content directory is found and writable. On WPVIP updates are managed via GitHub
and `wp-content` is read-only so this check will always fail with a critical error
stating “Unable to Locate WordPress Content Directory”.

This change removes the `update_temp_backup_writable` check from the Health Checks
page by default to avoid the confusing, and non-applicable critical health check
warning.

[https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4694](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4694)

---

### Disable “Available disk space” check added in WordPress 6.3

WordPress 6.3 adds a “Available disk space” check in the site health section. The
check assumes self-managed and writeable filesystem. This check was disabled because
it is not relevant on the WordPress VIP Platform and gives a bogus result.

### Library updated: VIP Request Block

We’ve updated VIP Request Block library not run in WP-CLI context as that potentially
may lead to inability to run CLI commands in case an expression evaluated to `true`
in CLI context.

[https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4640](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4640)

### Added high level method to enable VIP Integration Plugins

Added support to enable VIP Integration Plugins, starting with the [VIP Block Data API plugin](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-block-data-api/)

[https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4610](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4610)

---

### Plugin Updated: Security

We have a plugin that temporarily locks an account upon a certain number of failed
login attempts as well as password recovery attempts.

This change changes defaults for the most common scenario of attempts from the same
IP address from 5 failed attempts within 5 minutes to 3 failed attempts within 15
minutes. We also made the lock time 30 minutes.

We also made this plugin more configurable via filters. For example following configuration
will change the behaviour to lock an account after 5 attempts within 2 minutes. 
The account then stays locked for 10 minutes.

    ```php
    add_filter( 'wpcom_vip_ip_username_login_threshold', fn() => 5 );
    add_filter( 'wpcom_vip_invalid_login_window', fn() => MINUTE_IN_SECONDS * 2 );
    add_filter( 'wpcom_vip_invalid_login_lock_period', fn() => MINUTE_IN_SECONDS * 10 );
    ```

way.

---

### Jetpack: Resync privacy settings for private JP sites

We want to resync the privacy settings for JP sites that have been marked as private(
via the `VIP_JETPACK_IS_PRIVATE` constant), so we’re updating the option name that
stores this state in order to cause these sites to re-sync.

[https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4495](https://github.com/Automattic/vip-go-mu-plugins/pull/4495)

---

### Plugin Updated: Private Sites

leverage `blog_public` option, but use other values than `-1`.

Switched over all environments to using the new object cache drop-in. This drop-
in utilizes the `Memcached` PHP extension, which has support for multiGet() operations
