WordPress always assumes it has access to the internet for updates. When that's not the case, we need to put a plan in place to keep both WordPress itself and any installed plugins and themes up to date. This movie shows you how.
- [Instructor] An intranet site is one…of the rare situations where there's a good chance…WordPress does not have access to the internet.…This produces some unique challenges worth exploring.…WordPress is a web publishing platform…and with in that title, there is an implicit assumption…that the web, as in the world wide web, is always available.…WordPress relies on an internet connection for updates,…plugins and theme installs and other features,…but it's main feature, content management,…is built to work even without the internet.…
That's why we can use it for a closed intranet.…If your intranet is closed off from the outside world,…you need to have a plan in place…for maintenance of your WordPress site.…The best way to ensure your site and its plugins…and themes are always up-to-date, is to set up a duplicate…of the internet site on a computer…that can be connected to the internet, detect updates,…and perform manual updates on the intranet site,…by uploading files to the intranet site over the network.…Exactly how you do this depends on your infrastructure…
