Meta queries
There are two types of indexes available for meta query usage on VIP:
Best practices for database queries
WordPress API functions should be used instead of direct database queries for fetching and manipulating data whenever possible. In a situation where WordPress API functions cannot be used—and direct database queries cannot be avoided—follow these best practices:
WordPress REST API
The WordPress REST API provides an interface for applications to interact with a WordPress site by sending and receiving data as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) objects.
VIP Platform IP ranges
In some situations, it might be necessary to allow requests from a VIP Platform environment that may need to interact with private resources. For example, to allow requests from a VIP Platform site to an internal tool that is behind a firewall.
Disaster recovery
WordPress VIP maintains a blend of manual and automated procedures for dealing with various equipment or other failures.
GitHub pull request flow
The GitHub flow is strongly recommended for developing code for new features, bug fixes, and testing. By using the GitHub flow, developer teams can more effectively collaborate and more confidently deploy new code to production environments.
Interpreting a PHPCS report
PHP_CodeSniffer (PHPCS) scans that are run against WordPress application code will return a report of any identified errors and warnings and categorizes them by severity.
Subdomain and subdirectory structures
By default, all WordPress multisite environments on the VIP Platform are configured with a subdirectory structure. The SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL constant is defined at platform level in wp-config.php with a default value of false. This value cannot be overridden, even by defining the constant differently in vip-config.php or with any other methods.
Data sync config file
Data sync config files are necessary for running a data sync from a WordPress multisite production environment to a non-production environment. The values added to a data sync config file determine the search and replace operations that occur for the domain values of each network site in the synced database.
