Developer Tools

You can access the developer tools available to your site through the /developer route in your app. Just login to your site and update your url with the /developer route (e.g. https://app.myrespond.com/developer).

Tool Description
Re-publish Plugins This tool walks through the pages in your site and re-publishes the plugins on each page. It does this by querying the DOM for the [respond-plugin] attribute and then updates the element with content from the associated plugin. This is helpful when developing or modifying plugins for your site. An error when executing this function typically means you have an error in your plugin.
Re-index Pages This tool updates the current index (data/pages.json) with new files in your site's directory. The tool also updates your sitemap.xml file. This tool allows you to bring in pages into Respond that you develop outside of the CMS.
Re-publish Sitemap This tool updates your sitemap.xml file (but does not reindex your pages).
Migrate Respond 5 site This tool aids in the process of migrating your site from Respond 5 to 6. More details below.
