Question 1

What is the Real-Time Customizer?

Accepted Answer

The real-time customizer makes setting up new websites for your clients easier and faster than before. The Real-Time Customizer enables you to add additional fields to the site launching process, whose data can be injected into the newly launched site. This saves on the tedious work of replacing emails, names, addresses and other common variables. The real-time customizer only works with your custom blueprints, and not public ones.

Defining Placeholders for a Blueprint

From within either the control panel or the hub, navigate to the particular blueprint, and then to the real-time customizer section. There you can add / or edit the placeholder variables that can then be placed within the content of the blueprint. There are attributes to specify when adding a new placeholder:

Adding Placeholders to the Blueprint Content

When a site is created, the placeholders in the blueprint content will be replaced with the provided values. Edit the content fo the blueprint website, and add the placeholders needed. Then publish a new version of the blueprint.

Deploying a site

When deploying a site from a blueprint that is using the realtime customizer, you will be presented with the placeholder fields you have defined.

Question 2

How do I add a custom deployment domain?

Accepted Answer

A deployment domain is a domain that is used to create the address for a site when it is first deployed. If your deployment domain is example.com, you will be able to create sites with domains like site1.example.com and customer.example.com. When you first subscribe to either the Pro or Hub Builder plans, you will be provided with a deployment domain to get you started that ends with dollie.io. Most customers will quickly decide they want to have their own deployment domain. In that case, you need to follow the steps below.

Have or purchase a domain name from a domain registrar

Domain names can be purchased from domain registrars such as Namecheap. You can use a naked domain, or indeed a subdomain if that makes sense to you.

Add the deployment domain to Control HQ

The below screenshot will indicate where you can add a new deployment domain. It is possible to add more than one deployment domain depending on your needs.

Update the nameservers at the domain registrar

Log in to your domain registrar and edit the nameservers to the ones provided by Dollie. Your domain registrar is the service you have purchased your domain from, or where the registration of your domain is managed. There, you should define the nameservers of your domain to be the following:

pdns1.stratus5.com pdns2.stratus5.com pdns3.stratus5.com

Question 3

Can I control the initial experience of new wordpress sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by creating a custom blueprint. Creating a site from a custom blueprint allows you to determine what plugins, themes, configuration, and default data will be present when a customer creates a website. The initial experience of a site created for a particular customer can be further tailored to individual customers by making use of our real-time customizer. Our real-time customizer can be used to initialize website content with customer details.
