An original planning guide. Use the linked primary documentation for platform details and the supported procedure for your environment.
Review representative templates
Open a page, post, archive, search result, and not-found view where the site uses them. Check actual content rather than empty demo layouts.
Exercise critical actions
Test menus, forms, search, account access, and commerce in an appropriate environment. Record the expected outcome and evidence for each action.
Inspect access and visibility
Review user roles, environment access, public indexing intent, and the site's HTTPS address. Confirm staging and production have deliberate differences.
Confirm operations readiness
Identify backups, update responsibility, support contacts, and post-launch monitoring. Assign unresolved issues before setting a launch time.
Worked scenario
See the plan in practice.
A homepage is polished, but the archive template still shows sample text. A template-based review catches pages a homepage-only check would miss.
Review your result
Your acceptance checklist
Templates sampled
Actions tested
Owners ready
Use these checks to identify gaps in your wordpress launch review. Assign an owner to any unresolved item before the next dependent step.
