Update an environment’s deploying branch
Environments with Default Deployment enabled are configured to track a specific branch of an application’s wpcomvip GitHub repository. For example, new production environments are set up to track a branch named production by default. Pushing any changes to this branch (via a push, merge, or rebase) triggers an automatic deployment to the production environment.
Configure domains and TLS for a reverse proxy
Testing a reverse proxy‘s configurations should be done with a site’s convenience domain URL in preparation for a site launch. When the proxy testing is complete, and the site is ready to launch, the final production domain (e.g. https://www.example.com) should replace the convenience domain in the configurations.
Test a proxy configuration
Reverse proxy configurations should be tested extensively prior to a site launch.
Prepare application code for a PHP version update
PHP is continuously under development to improve performance and security with every released version. Though every version brings improvements, sometimes new requirements for code syntax or breaking changes are introduced as well.
Manage dependencies in Node.js
Node.js applications on the VIP Platform must use npm to manage their dependencies. Other dependency managers such as yarn are not supported.
Sync or import database content to a VIP Local Development Environment
Database content can be imported or synced to a running VIP Local Development Environment. Before syncing or importing content, It is recommended to first confirm that the VIP Local Development Environment is up and running as expected. Configuring the environment to load locally cloned application code prior to adding data can also help prevent unexpected errors .
Enable Enterprise Search for the WordPress Admin
By default, Enterprise Search is not enabled for use in the WordPress Admin. Activating the Protected Content feature will send WordPress Admin search queries to Elasticsearch, but also risks exposing non-public content to unauthorized users. The ep_admin_wp_query_integration and ep_ajax_wp_query_integration filters can be used to more selectively enable Enterprise Search for the WordPress Admin.
