## Description

The DubBot Plugin connects to your [DubBot](https://dubbot.com) account and displays
accessibility, spelling, links, SEO, best practices, and custom web governance rule
results directly within WordPress.

This plugin requires an “Embed Key,” which can be requested by contacting DubBot
support at [help@dubbot.com](https://bre.wordpress.org/plugins/dubbot/help@dubbot.com?output_format=md).

**Features:**
 – Highlight issues from DubBot inside your WordPress editor. – View
results from: – Accessibility – Best Practices – Spelling – Links – Web Governance–
SEO

A DubBot account is required to use this plugin.

### WordPress Multisite

On a WordPress multisite network, a network administrator should activate DubBot
for the network from `Network Admin > Plugins`. Configure network defaults at `Network
Admin > Settings > DubBot`.

Site administrators can use DubBot while editing their own site’s content. By default,
they can also override the network defaults at `Settings > DubBot` for their own
site. A network administrator can disable site overrides from the DubBot network
settings page; existing site-specific settings are preserved but ignored while overrides
are disabled.

### External services

This plugin requires a [DubBot](https://dubbot.com) account to render results from
the [DubBot API](https://api.dubbot.com/).

On the page/post view and edit screens, the plugin sends the Embed Key and the page/
post’s URL to the DubBot API to fetch and display any issues for the page.

For new DubBot customers, [request a demo](https://dubbot.com/request-demo/index.html)
to get started.
 For existing customers, contact DubBot support at [help@dubbot.com](https://bre.wordpress.org/plugins/dubbot/help@dubbot.com?output_format=md)
to request an Embed Key.

### Troubleshooting

#### Customizing the page URL

By default, DubBot sends WordPress’s permalink for the page or post to the DubBot
API. If the public URL differs from the WordPress permalink, such as when a domain
mapping plugin is used, add a `dubbot_page_url` filter in a site-specific plugin
or your theme’s functions.php file:

    ```
    add_filter('dubbot_page_url', function ($url, $post_id) { return domainmap_map_url($url); }, 10, 2);
    ```

The filter receives the WordPress permalink and the post ID, and must return the
URL that DubBot should use. It applies to both the displayed results and the metadata
used for editor highlighting.

#### Highlighting isn’t working.

You may need to update the Editor Selector in the Settings. This is the [CSS Selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_selectors)
that corresponds to the HTML element containing the WordPress editor.

#### Some things aren’t highlighting

Those things could be part of template content, such as a header or footer, which
is usually not seen while editing page content.
