Only SQL database files that were exported from a WordPress install can be imported to a running codespace environment. For environments that are hosted on the VIP Platform, SQL database backup files can be downloaded from the application’s VIP Dashboard.
After a custom domain has been added to the VIP Dashboard for an environment, it must be verified before DNS instructions can be accessed and before a Let’s Encrypt certificate can be installed. Verification proves that a customer has ownership of a domain and the necessary credentials to access the domain’s DNS settings. Only verified domains can be used for launching a site or sending emails.
When analyzing a site’s performance, specific types of site requests and the pages that receive the largest amount of traffic should be the subjects for analysis. The application’s codebase should also be regularly scanned for opportunities to improve performance.
Implementing the IP allow list method in application code enables the IP address of an end user—sent by a reverse proxy—to be logged as the value of the True-Client-IP header in HTTP request logs.
Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that allows a user to log in to the VIP Dashboard with credentials managed by an authentication service (e.g. Duo, Okta).
Using a WordPress.com user account for multi-factor authentication to log in to the VIP Dashboard also requires VIP Authentication.
VIP Cloud authentication allows users to log in to the VIP Dashboard securely, using their GitHub.com or WordPress.com user accounts as part of a multi-factor authentication login process.
Typically, the step to build files in a CI service is scripted by the nature of CI tasks. However, if for any reason a CI service is unavailable it is still possible to deploy built files.
Custom TLS certificates that are installed for a domain should be renewed by the customer prior to their expiration date. The expiration date for a domain’s TLS certificate is displayed in the column labeled “Certificates” in the Domains & TLS panel of the VIP Dashboard.
The VIP Platform will automatically make attempts to renew a domain’s installed Let’s Encrypt certificate 28 days prior to the certificate’s expiration date.
