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.
Contribute to WordPress Core
The WordPress.org open source community is comprised of talented individuals around the world. This community is always interested in receiving additional help from new contributors. Developers who support enterprise sites on the VIP Platform can lend a unique voice to WordPress that helps improve the project for all.
Indexing post statuses
Enterprise Search will automatically index all public post statuses.
Enable “required status checks” for pull requests
Enabling GitHub’s required status checks for branch protection ensures that no pull requests are merged unless they are free of issues, automatically detected by the VIP Code Analysis Bot (the Bot). This enforces a workflow where pull requests require developers to get clearance from the VIP Code Analysis Bot before they can merge the code.
