Welcome to the MDVGA Golf Booking Sites. This is our first post.
Because this is a “multisite” (aka “network”) WordPress install, your same username and password will also let you access a “Golf Sandbox” WordPress site using a dropdown menu on the top left; here’s a quick video demo I made: https://youtu.be/iHJXSu57hj8 . Each “site” in a multisite setup has its own posts and pages and menus and theme setups etc. Each site can have different plugins enabled (and while you can’t install new plugins, you can choose which already-installed plugins you want to have enabled). So you should treat this sandbox site as disposable – feel free to mess with it as much as you want, try things out, etc – the idea is this replaces your staging site. Other associations will also have access to it, so don’t put anything important there.
To further improve performance, this site is set up to cache at several different levels. Basically this means that “views” of your site are saved in different places to avoid having to regenerate the site from scratch each time someone looks at your site. Mostly this “just works” but you may manage to make some changes but then not see them reflected on the actual site, so here’s how to work around that:
- JavaScript and CSS content is bundled together using Autoptimize . You can use the Autoptimize > Delete Cache menu on the top bar of the site to clear this cache.
- SuperCache saves copies of each page. To clear this cache, click Delete Cache on the top menu bar.
- Cloudflare serves copies of your site from servers that are closer to you and your members. You can’t easily clear this right now but just bug me if you think it might be a problem. (We’ll probably have to turn this off once we move your site to your domain anyway, unless Andrew wants to jump through a bunch more hoops.)
