Run PHPCS against code

Running a PHPCS scan against code, particularly third-party plugins and themes, can provide useful and actionable feedback on existing warnings and errors within the code.

Import database files with VIP-CLI

Full or partial SQL database files can be imported to a VIP Platform WordPress environment using VIP-CLI. The vip import sql command can import a SQL database file that is located on a user’s local machine or at a remote URL.

Update domain name values

If a database file for import contains domain name values that do not match the VIP Platform destination site’s domain name, a --search-replace operation must be done before or during import.

Generate a new database backup

In addition to the automated database backups that are generated for WordPress environments, a new backup can be created on demand. Some limitations are in place to the frequency and total number of backup files that can be created within a window of time.

Download a partial Database Backup

Download one or more specific tables from a Database Backup copy of a WordPress single site or a WordPress multisite environment.

Download a full database backup

Download a backup copy of the entire database of a WordPress single site or a WordPress multisite environment.

Enable HTTPS for a VIP Local Development Environment

By default, VIP Local Development Environment URLs resolve with HTTP rather than HTTPS, the secure browsing protocol. When developing locally, some users may have a need for URLs to resolve at HTTPS (e.g. applications with payment integrations). For HTTPS to work as expected, a trusted digital certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA certificate) for the local environment must be added to the user’s machine.
