🟢 Connection Status Labels
🟢 Connection Status Labels
The new plugin interface now includes visual connection indicators in both the sidebar and the top navigation bar. These labels instantly show whether the plugin is properly connected to Search Atlas:
Connected (Green Label): Confirms that your plugin is authenticated and synced with your Search Atlas project.
Not Connected (Gray Label): Indicates that the plugin has not been authenticated or has lost connection.
This feature makes it easy to check your plugin status at a glance without opening configuration settings.
🛑 Disable Dashboard Option
🛑 Disable Dashboard Option
For users who prefer to manage projects exclusively through the Search Atlas platform, the plugin now allows you to disable the dashboard inside WordPress.
When disabled, the status will display as “Dashboard Disabled”.
You can re-enable it at any time if you want direct access to your OTTO project dashboard inside WordPress.
This option gives you more flexibility and control over how and where you manage your SEO workflows.
🔑 Automatic API Key & OTTO UUID Sync
🔑 Automatic API Key & OTTO UUID Sync
When you log in via Single Sign-On, the plugin automatically populates both the API Key and the OTTO UUID fields if a project already exists in Search Atlas that matches your WordPress domain.
This eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting or configuration.
It ensures your plugin instantly connects with the correct OTTO project.
If multiple projects exist, the plugin prompts you to confirm or select the appropriate one.
This automation reduces setup time and prevents configuration errors, making the onboarding process seamless.
💡 Why it matters
This update streamlines the process of connecting, branding, and managing OTTO within WordPress, making it faster, easier, and more consistent with the Search Atlas platform.
