Develop on WordPress VIP

You will need access to an application’s GitHub repository to develop code and access to the application’s VIP Dashboard to manage its environments.

The WPVIP Platform supports WordPress single site, WordPress multisite, and Node.js applications.

Additional layers of WPVIP’s infrastructure are in place to enhance the performance and security of your application environments.

Every WordPress and Node.js application on the VIP Platform is supplied with a GitHub repository within the wpcomvip GitHub organization.

When writing custom code or adding third-party plugins and themes, WPVIP’s unique infrastructure might necessitate different considerations and approaches.

All wpcomvip GitHub repositories created for Node.js applications are initialized with a copy of the vip-go-node-skeleton repository.

Developers can use the VIP Local Development Environment or GitHub Codespaces options provided by VIP to create a local environment that most closely replicates their WPVIP Platform WordPress environment.

Access to several different types of logs and dashboards for performance monitoring are available to you throughout the development process.

Several resources are available to help you find answers to your questions or to get help when you need it. The resource that will be most helpful depends on the type of information or help you need.
