Our latest Shifter release includes the “Skip Pages” plugin, a WordPress hotfix update, improved service with Intercom Chat Support, and a highly requested feature for extending preferred domain name options.
New Feature!: Shifter Skip Pages Plugin
This WordPress plugin for Shifter was designed to skip sometimes unnecessary pages such as Archives, Attachment Pages, RSS Feeds and more. Enabling and using this plugin could significantly reduce your time to generate. If your WordPress site has hundreds or thousands of attachments, posts, or pages that don’t need to be indexed this will come in handy.
Shifter CDN now supports Alternative Server Names
Now you can add additional domain names for Shifter CDN. This is great for anyone who wants to use multiple subdomains or domains for staging or deployment. For now, it’s limited to subdomains. For example; www.example.com and blog.example.com. If you have a specific domain need or question, let us know what you’re working on. Our feature development is driven by user requests so send us your feedback and requests!
Shifter will show links for deployed sites on the deployment page
Accessing deployed or published versions of your site by clicking Published Artifact on the Deploy tab. For more info on deploying from Shifter Artifacts check our revised Get Started doc.
