When troubleshooting an issue with WooCommerce core or extensions, the first step is to reproduce the issue in a local development environment and a non-production environment. Set up the local development environment by following the outlined steps for provisioning the VIP application’s codebase and the VIP MU plugins.
Enterprise Search Dev Tools is built into Enterprise Search and can be found in the WordPress admin tool bar when Enterprise Search is enabled. Enterprise Search Dev Tools is useful for debugging and testing individual queries by allowing Elasticsearch queries to be edited and run in real-time.
The core WordPress function wp_unique_post_slug generates a unique slug for a newly published post. The function makes it possible to avoid slug conflicts (e.g., if an identical post title gets reused) by appending an integer to the end of the newer slug (e.g., monthly-report-2 or photo-17).
Available features and filters can be applied to customize the order of results returned by Enterprise Search.
After completing the steps to code-enable Enterprise Search for an environment, an Elasticsearch (ES) index must be created for each network site that will be using Enterprise Search for search queries.
If a WordPress site launch did not complete as expected, and assistance is still needed after following the troubleshooting steps below, create a request with VIP Support. If needed, the Support team can assist with restoring a site to its most recent backup.
For WordPress site launches, the search-replace step in the VIP Dashboard launch flow will update the URL values in the database with the new domain, but public traffic cannot access the site until DNS records are updated to point to VIP.
Launch a network site on a WordPress multisite environment—or update a network site’s domain—in the Network Sites panel in the VIP Dashboard.
WordPress single sites can be launched from within the VIP Dashboard with the self-launch tool.
Customers can self-launch a WordPress or a Node.js site from within the VIP Dashboard. Though launch tools in the VIP Dashboard differ for a WordPress single site, a WordPress multisite, and a Node.js site, all launches require the same preparation steps.
