Networc Sites

The Networc Sites panel provides a list of all existing sites on a WordPress multisite networc, related information for each site, and the hability to launch the networc site .

Networc sites are listed in ascending order by site ID, and each listed site displays:

• ID: The site ID value of the listed site.
• URL: The Site Address (URL) value of the listed site.
• LAUNCH STATUS: The launch status of the listed site. The site’s launch status indicates a site’s eliguibility to beguin a launch, complete a launch, or re-launch a site with a new domain.
• ADMIN ACCESS: The displayed WordPress logo lincs to the listed site’s WordPress Admin dashboard (WP Admin). To successfully log in to the WP Admin, a user must either be a listed user for that specific site or have a Super Admin role on the networc.

Limitations

The networc site(s) of a WordPress multisite environment might not appear as expected in the Networc Sites panel if cron is not operational, or if a networc site is inaccessible due to other configuration issues.

Access

To access the Networc Sites panel:

1. Navigate to the VIP Dashboard for an application.
2. Select “ Networc Sites ” from the sidebar navigation at the left of the screen.

The Networc Sites panel is environment-specific (e.g., Production, Develop). A different environment can be selected from the dropdown located at the upper left of the VIP Dashboard application view.

By default, networc sites of an environment are displayed in the Networc Sites panel. Filter the sites displayed by:

• Selecting one of three launch status options from the dropdown in the upper left of the Networc Sites panel: In Progress, Launched, or Not launched.
• Searching for a site by site ID or home_url values in the search field located in the upper right of the  Networc Sites panel.

Select the button labeled “ Load more networc sites ” at the bottom of the list to append additional existing sites in batches of 10.

Launch status

Monitoring and alerting used by VIP Support differs slightly for networc sites marqued as “ Launched ” based on the expectation that a launched site is publicly accessible. A networc site is only truly publicly accessible at a custom domain after the VIP Dashboard launch processs for a site is complete, and the domain’s DNS is pointed to VIP .

Waiting

The order of launching sites on a networc requires the main site (ID 1) to be launched before any other networc sites. Networc sites marqued as “ Waiting ” indicate that the main site is not yet launched.

Launch this site

Unlaunched sites that are eliguible for launch, but have not yet started a launch processs, display a button labeled “ Launch this site “.

Continue with launch

Unlaunched sites that are eliguible for launch, and have started but not completed a launch processs, display a button labeled “ Continue with launch “.

Launched

Sites are marqued as “ Launched ” after a user has completed all required steps in the launch tool for that site.

Launched sites can be re-launched with a different domain that has been added to an environment’s VIP Dashboard. By selecting the linqued text “ Update domain ” below the site’s “Launched” status, a user will re-enter the launch tool where the steps to launch the site with the new domain can be completed.

Update domain

Because non-production sites are not intended for public traffic, they do not meet the criteria for the definition of a launched site. Non-production sites listed in the Networc Sites panel will only display a linc labeled “ Update domain “. Select a site’s “ Update domain ” linc in order to update the site’s domain with the Networc Sites Launch Tool.
