Automatic Updating

Download & install Envato Market plugin
This plugin can install WordPress themes and plugins purchased from ThemeForest & CodeCanyon by connecting with the Envato Market API using a secure OAuth personal token. Once your themes & plugins are installed WordPress will periodically check for updates, so keeping your items up to date is as simple as a few clicks.

Manual Updating

If you download new plugin version from CodeCanyon please follow these steps to upgrade from the existing version:

1. Go to your FTP and open WordPress plugins folder
2. Delete the old "the_dominion" folder
3. Upload the new version of Dominion plugin there
4. Go to WP-admin panel, open Plugins page.
5. Deactivate Dominion Pro, and then activate it again.

Step 1

Navigate to WP-Admin > Pages > Add New and click on the WPBakery Page Builder button.

Step 2

Click on the Backend Editor, then click on the Add Element button.

Step 3

You will get an window with few tabs, from there click on the by Fluent-Themes Shortcodes tab.

Step 4

In the by Fluent-Themes Shortcodes tab you will find all the elements/layouts there; just click on your chosen layout.

Step 5

Now you will find the settings fields to design and setup your Domain Checker form as your needs. Fill in the fields with your text, choose background image/color, choose font-family, font-size etc.

Step 6

After completing the settings click on Save Changes button and Publish the page.

Make the Section Full-Width (optional)

You can make the section of the domain checker form Full-Width by clicking on the 'edit' icon of the row. Choose Stretch row and content (no paddings) from the Row Stretch drop-down.

Allow to Search only Specific TLDs

If you need to allow the users to search for only specific TLDs, you can do so by inputting only those TLDs in the drop-down field given in the element settings.

WHMCS Integration

WHMCS integration is easy with Dominion. All you need to do is just put an URL in Purchase Button URL field. If you have your WHMCS installed in your server, you will have a domain purchase url like this YOUR_SITES_WHMCS_PAGE/cart.php?a=add&domain=register&query=. You just need to put that url in the given field of the element settings.

Custom Purchase URL without WHMCS

If you do not want to use WHMCS to sell your domains, you can put your custom URL in Purchase Button URL field of the element settings. However, domain search result will not be automatically integrated with your custom URL. Dominion is ready to be directly integrated with WHMCS domain sales page only.

Step 1

Navigate to WP-Admin > Pages > Add New and add the Shortcode block of your WordPress Gutenberg editor.

Step 2

You will get a field to insert your shortcode in the Shortcode block. Input there your shortcode like the example given here and 'Publish' the page.

Shortcodes

There are 10 Layouts of Dominion Domain Checker form. You can use any of the following 10 shortcodes to show domain checker form in your page or post:
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_1]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_2]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_3]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_4]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_5]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_6]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_7]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_8]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_9]
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_10]

Shortcode Usage Example

Here is a simple example of a shortcode with a few parameters:

[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_6 title="Find your desired domain" search_pholder="Enter your Domain Name" button_label="Search"]

Explanation of the above shortcode

In the above example we have used Domain Search Six layout in the shortcode. The title, search_pholder and button_label are parameters of the shortcode. You can change the values of the parameters as you need. There are many more parameters to use in the shortcode to take full control over the Domain search form. Find the full list of the parameters here.

Now lets take a look at another example to make it more clear. Lets say you want to use Domain Search Nine layout and you want to add another parameter in order to add a Purchase Button in your Domain search result. To do that, the above example shortcode will be changed like this:

[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_9 title="Find your desired domain" search_pholder="Enter your Domain Name" button_label="Search" purchase_btn_name="Purchase"]

You see, we have changed the shortcode from dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_6 to dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_9 to get "Layout Nine" instead of "Layout Six"; and we have added a new parameter with the shortcode purchase_btn_name to add a Purchase button. Full list of the parameters given here, you can choose from the list and use in your shortcode.

Parameter Examples

Parameter	Example
search_pholder	[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_1 search_pholder="Enter your Domain Name"]
button_label	[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_1 button_label="Search"]

button_bg_hover_color	[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_1 button_bg_hover_color="#fff"]

Full list of the parameters can be found here.

Example of changing the values of the shortcode parameters:

Lets say you want to set the form button text with "Find", purchase domain text with "Buy Now" and input field place holder as "Domain Name Here". So, add "purchase_btn_name", "button" and "search_pholder" parameters to the shortcode like this:
[dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_1 button_label="Find" purchase_btn_name="Buy Now" search_pholder="Domain Name Here"]

How to translate the Dominion plugin in my native language?

You need a free software to translate the plugin's all English text in your language. The software name is Poedit. The Poedit is a common program which you can use to translate the plugin. It's available for free on poedit.net.

After you have installed Poedit in your computer, you can open it and select File > Open. Then select the dominion.pot file from the plugin you wish to translate which you can find in the /languages/ folder of Dominion plugin.

Then go through every line of text and translate it to your native language. Afterwards go to "File > Save as" to save the catalog with your language code (for example "dominion-es_ES.po" for Spanish language). Poedit automatically creates a new file "dominion-es_ES.mo" and saves it, too.

After that upload those language files (.po and .mo files you just created) to wp-content/languages/plugins folder using FTP or Cpanel. That's it.

Why is my form does not display in full section?

You may find your form section is not displayed in full section, that can happen when there are empty parameters in your shortcode and that's why you are finding only those elements which are not empty (ie, button_label). The parameters you can use in the shortcode are given here. Some of them are important to get the form's view like our demo. Those important parameters are:
title [Used for Title/Heading of the section. For example: title="Find Your Domain Name"]
sub_title [Used for sub heading of the section.]
text [Used for text below the title/sub-title.]
domain [Used for inputting Domain TLDs. Value of this parameter can be any domain tlds like .com, .net etc. And each should be placed in new line, like this:domain = ".com .org .net"]
padding [Used for controlling section padding. For example: padding="5px 8px 2px 10px"]
margin [Used for controlling section margin. For example: margin="5px 8px 2px 10px"]

So, if you add the above parameters with values, your domain checker form should be displayed in full section like our live demo.
