Checklist Pointer for Oversee/Senior Dev

  • Access Control:
    • Limit access to WP Engine to Oversee or senior developers.
    • Keep server access credentials separate from common credential documents.
    • Maintain limited member access to ensure security.
  • Backups:
    • Always create a backup before major activities or deployments
    • Perform such activities under Oversee supervision.
  • Documentation:
    • When working with a theme builder, developers should take notes of changes made for complex tickets.
    • This allows for easy reversion in case of any issues.
  • Revisions:
    • Enable the Revision feature in WordPress, with a minimum of 5 revisions.
    • This helps track changes and provides a history of revisions.
  • Testing and Debugging:
    • Avoid direct testing or debugging on live pages.
    • Create duplicates of pages for testing purposes, ensuring they are not crawled or indexed (add “noindex nofollow” temporarily).
    • Once testing is completed, thoroughly delete the duplicate page.
  • History Plugin:
    • Check if your site has a History plugin to track user activity and updates.
  • Global Settings:
    • Instruct developers to reach out to a senior developer or Oversee for making changes related to global settings.
