Clone Template
TEMPORARY NOTICE: Our Flywheel Bulk Plan is currently maxed out (at time of writing) and we will not be upgrading it until we confirm another client for our Enterprise Hosting option. In the event that there are no more site slots available, you may use the Duplicator plugin to create an Package, then install it on our Liquid Web Dedicated Server almost.online account. Please delete all older Duplicator Packages if you create a new one to save on disk space.
This Site Template is hosted on Flywheel WordPress Hosting. We utilize the Best Practice of creating a New Site by using Flywheel’s Site Clone feature to clone this Template to a new site slot. Refer to the the Creating a Site on Flywheel Documentation for details on how to create a Flywheel site slot by cloning this Template.
We use our company almost.online domain for development URLs for clients. You can configure your Flywheel site slot to use example-site.almost.online, for example, then add that subdomain to our Cloudflare Configuration to bring it live. Refer to the Domains & DNS Documentation for details on how to configure DNS to point to Flywheel.
Once the Template is cloned, you can begin development and use this built-in documentation within your new site throughout the site build. You should put the Flywheel site in Development Mode during development to avoid caching issues. Once the build is over and the documentation is not needed, you can delete all of the Documentation Components as per our Deployment Documentation.
