Changes, updates and configurations maintained inside CiviCRM and its source tree

Herein is documented stuff that may get blown away across upgrades and server moves. Be wary!

techadmin_cron as HEWEB_TECHADMIN_USER configured in wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings-private.php and set up as anonymous user in WordPress
wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/heweb_techadmin_no_really_run_cron_jobs.php which is executed by Easy Cron
5.3.3 as a minimum PHP version is changed to 5.3.2 in several places, notably:
- wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.php
- wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Upgrade/Form.php
- wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/install/index.php

These are documented in CiviCRM's docs, but sometimes are scattered and nonobvious (to me), so I'm recording them here, too.

Get Jason or Curtiss or Chad to add you and your SSH key be added to hewmembership.

Use this for tests. See WPEngine docs for how to update staging to latest from production.

git remote add wpengine-staging git@git.wpengine.com:staging/hewmembership.git if not already done locally
git push wpengine-staging <working_branch_name>:master

git remote add wpengine-prod git@git.wpengine.com:production/hewmembership.git if not already done locally
git push wpengine-prod master

The following trees are not stored in git (per WPEngine, and perhaps common sense). This may be incomplete.

The following trees are currently stored in git, but may at some point be rejected by WPEngine rules.

wp-config.php is not versionable per WPEngine, so private stuff is kept in here and public stuff is kept in the peer file wp-config-public.php which is versionable
wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php has been split to include a -private version, where the latter are not stored in git, as enforced by an entry in .gitignore

Migration from 1and1 is complete, and master now represents WPEngine current production state. See older revisions of this file for details of how migration was performed.
