Maintenance Mode is an Automattic-authored plugin that can temporarily block a site from public traffic until site maintenance is complete. A customized page template and messaging can be served to users while the plugin is enabled.
WordPress VIP does not maintain a list of “approved” plugins. Plugins of the customer’s choice can be installed to extend a site’s functionality.
The Insights & Metrics panel, located in the application view of the VIP Dashboard, provides insights into the performance, health, and usage of an application.
Code that is committed to the deploying branch of a WordPress environment should contain all needed assets. On deploy, no additional building is done except for submodule includes. When using composer, for example, code should be committed to a branch only after running composer install. An alternative to this is to set up a continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) method.
Code deployments typically take up to 5 minutes to complete. The amount of time required to complete a code deployment can vary depending on several factors.
By default, the post_status of a query is set to publish for anonymous users on the front end. It is not set in any WP_ADMIN context, including Ajax queries.
