Maintenance Mode plugin

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.

Plugins

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.

Insights & Metrics

The Insights & Metrics panel in the VIP Dashboard provides insights into the performance, health, and usage of an application.

Build and deploy

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.

Login failure errors

For most issues that occur when attempting to log in to the VIP Dashboard an informative error message will be returned. The error message will indicates a possible underlying cause for the issue.

Single Sign-On for the VIP Dashboard

Single Sign-On (SSO) for logging in to the VIP Dashboard can be configured for an organization as an optional—or enforced—authentication method.

Environment indicator labels

An environment indicator label will display by default on local development environments, and can be selectively enabled for non-production VIP Platform environments.

Custom TLS certificate requirements

A custom TLS certificate that is generated by the customer must meet meet a specific set of requirements in order to be successfully installed.
