 1. Databases

##  󠀁[ Import database files ](https://docs.wpvip.com/databases/import/)󠁿

Use VIP-CLI to import a full database file when migrating a site to the VIP Platform,
or import a partial database file to update specific tables on a WordPress environment.

 1. VIP File System

##  󠀁[ Import media files ](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-file-system/import-media-files/)󠁿

Media can be imported to the VIP File System with VIP-CLI. This is especially useful
for the process of migrating a WordPress site to the VIP Platform.

 1. Reverse proxy

##  󠀁[ Configure a reverse proxy ](https://docs.wpvip.com/reverse-proxy/configure/)󠁿

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.

 1. VIP Support

##  󠀁[ Retire an application or network site from VIP ](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-support/retire-a-site/)󠁿

Retiring a WordPress single site or Node.js application involves retiring the VIP
application. Retiring an individual network site on a WordPress multisite does not
require retiring the VIP application. See the Application page for the definition
of VIP application.

 1. Infrastructure
 2. VIP Platform environments

##  󠀁[ Write environment-specific code ](https://docs.wpvip.com/infrastructure/environments/environment-specific-code/)󠁿

The VIP Platform’s `VIP_GO_APP_ENVIRONMENT` constant and the WordPress function `
wp_get_environment_type()` can both be used to customize environment-specific behavior
in code.

 1. WordPress VIP skeleton

##  󠀁[ Serve static content ](https://docs.wpvip.com/wordpress-skeleton/serve-static-content-wp/)󠁿

How to serve small amounts of static content on a WordPress environment.

 1. Security Controls

##  󠀁[ robots.txt ](https://docs.wpvip.com/security-controls/robots-txt/)󠁿

The output of robots.txt can be modified with WordPress actions and filters.

 1. WordPress on VIP
 2. WordPress multisite

##  󠀁[ Add a network site ](https://docs.wpvip.com/wordpress-on-vip/multisites/create-new-sites/)󠁿

A WordPress multisite network is a collection of sites that all share the same WordPress
installation core files. They can also share plugins and themes. The individual 
sites in the network have separate directories for media uploads within the shared
installation, and separate tables in the database.

 1. Launch a site

##  󠀁[ Test a WordPress site ](https://docs.wpvip.com/launch-a-site/testing-your-site/)󠁿

Before shifting traffic to a new site make sure the site is working as expected 
and that it is as performant and secure as possible. In general, continuous performance
checks should occur during development on a non-production environment, but tests
on a production environment just before launch are also recommended.

##  󠀁[ PHPCS for WordPress VIP ](https://docs.wpvip.com/php_codesniffer/)󠁿

Scanning code locally with PHP_CodeSniffer (PHPCS) provides useful feedback on code
quality based on a defined set of coding standards.
