Target environments with VIP-CLI commands
An application on VIP can include one or more environments, and users may have access to more than one application hosted on VIP. A VIP-CLI command can only be run against one environment at a time, so both an application and an environment type must be specified in a VIP-CLI command.
Basic Authentication
Basic Authentication is useful when a static list—or range—of IP addresses required by other methods of site restriction are not available. Common uses for Basic Authentication are for restricting access to non-production environments, or to production environments that are not yet launched and still under development.
IP Allow List
Access to individual environments of an application can be restricted by specifying a list of IP addresses—or ranges of IP addresses (aka subnets)—in the VIP Dashboard’s IP Allow List. These settings are useful for sites with highly sensitive content, intranets, and non-production environments. Once an IP Allow List has been applied to an environment, any and all requests from an IP address outside of the allowed list or range will be denied.
Point DNS for a domain to WPVIP
Once a site is ready to launch, the DNS for a site’s new domain must be updated with the DNS provider and pointed at WPVIP for the site to be publicly available at that domain.
Save command output to a file
When running long-running custom WP-CLI commands, or commands that will affect many records, it is recommended to save the output to a file for review.
Choose what to index
By default, Enterprise Search will not index every post type, taxonomy, or meta. Indexing unnecessary content can result in:
Manage environment variables
Environment variables are a method for injecting information into WordPress and Node.js WPVIP Platform environments.
Check the index health
There is a wide range of subcommands available in wp vip-search health to check if your index is in sync with the database and to assist in debugging.
Best practices for writing WP-CLI commands
By following best practices when writing a custom WP-CLI command, the command is more likely to be performant, and easier to debug and maintain over time.
