WordPress on VIP

WordPress environments on the WordPress VIP Platform can be created as either a WordPress single site or a WordPress multisite. WordPress multisite (also known as a WordPress network) allows multiple sites to be created and run from a single installation of WordPress Core files.

Troubleshooting

If issues are encountered when working with the VIP Local Development Environment, the first troubleshooting step is to verify that the local machine is running up to date versions of VIP-CLI, Node.js, npm, and Docker.

Codebase Manager

VIP’s Codebase Manager is a service that helps customers keep versions of plugins and themes in their WordPress application code secure and up to date. Codebase Manager’s automated security scanning watches for new vulnerabilities that are published to WPScan.

Building Node.js applications

When code is pushed to a Node.js application's deploying branch, the VIP Platform infrastructure automatically pulls the code, installs the dependencies, and runs the build step: npm run build

WebSockets

WebSockets on WordPress VIP are designed to support small-scale, bidirectional, real-time data flows for Node.js applications.

Health checks

The cache health check endpoint is used to determine whether an application container is healthy, and allows the VIP edge load balancers to identify application containers that are extremely busy or non-responsive.

Integrating Valkey

Valkey is an optional add-on for Node.js environments on the WordPress VIP Platform.

Managing Node.js versions

Only Node.js Long Term Support (LTS) releases in Active or Maintenance status are supported by the VIP Platform.

Plugin incompatibilities

Some third-party plugins include operations or features that are incompatible with or duplicative to the infrastructure of the VIP Platform.
