   Tip

   To get the web dock application to render on a page, the page must either have the Web Dock profile or a profile that includes the wp_webdock module. Edit the page properties and change the profile or add the wp_webdock module to the profile applied to the page:

   Starting with CF03, the Web Dock profile no longer exists. If you are using the Resource Aggregator for Portlets, no additional steps are necessary. If you are not using the Resource Aggregator for Portlets, add the wp_webdock module to an existing profile on your page.

   1. Connect to the theme repository with the fs-type1 connection.
   2. Go to your theme.
   3. Open the profile file in the /profiles directory.
   4. Make a copy of the profile file and give it a unique name.
   5. Edit the .json file and add the wp_webdock module ID.
   6. Copy the profile that you created to the /profiles directory.
   7. Invalidate the resource aggregator cache to integrate your changes. Click the Administration menu icon in the toolbar. Then, click Theme Analyzer > Utilities > Control Center > Invalidate cache. Auto invalidation recognizes your changes automatically for WebDAV based themes. No further action is required.
