WordPress VIP appreciates when customer sites display a “Powered by WordPress VIP” link in the footer of their theme. In some cases, service agreements with WordPress VIP may require that the “Powered by WordPress VIP” link is displayed on a site. Questions about this requirement can be submitted to a customer’s relationship manager or to VIP Support.
Query Monitor is a WordPress plugin that provides a developer tools panel for WordPress. It enables debugging of database queries, PHP errors, warnings and notices, hooks and actions, block editor blocks, enqueued scripts and stylesheets, HTTP API calls, and more.
All WordPress sites are automatically provisioned with Jetpack and Jetpack Akismet Anti-Spam (Akismet) and a Jetpack Complete plan. Versions of Jetpack and Akismet are managed by the WPVIP Platform via VIP MU plugins.
In order for content creators and developers to interact with an application hosted on the VIP WordPress Platform, user accounts may need to be created for them. User access management (i.e., adding, removing, and editing user accounts) for most accounts are under the customer’s governance.
The default WordPress roles and capabilities may be insufficient for the needs of some sites. A collection of helper functions are available in vip-go-mu-plugins for creating new roles or modifying existing roles. VIP recommends using these helper functions rather than the traditional methods to ensure that the code works as expected on the WordPress VIP platform.
Use VIP-CLI to import SQL databases to a WordPress environment.
Media can be imported to the VIP File System with VIP-CLI. This is especially useful for migrating from an existing WordPress site to a site hosted on the VIP Platform.
HTTP headers are part of the HTTP protocol used to request web pages, request responses from API endpoints, and to send the response (e.g. from the web page or the API response). HTTP headers are not visible when viewing web pages in a browser nor when viewing the HTML source for a web page.
To set up a reverse proxy for a site on the VIP Platform, configurations must be made within the account of the reverse proxy provider, to the DNS of the site’s domain, in the VIP application’s codebase, within the site’s VIP Dashboard, and to the site itself. It is strongly recommended that the configurations of a reverse proxy are kept as simple as possible.
Notify the VIP team 30 days in advance of the desired retirement date of a WordPress or Node.js application from VIP by creating a VIP Support ticket. At the end of this period, VIP will typically retire all of the application’s environment(s), database(s), media files, and GitHub repository, and update the account’s billing details as per the agreement.
