🗺️ Overview
If you want to stop tracking one website in Search Atlas and start fresh with a different one, you need to complete two steps: remove the existing website from your Search Atlas account, and clear the UUID (unique identifier) from the Search Atlas WordPress plugin on your old site. Because the exact steps vary depending on your account setup, our support team will walk you through this process directly.
❓ What Is a UUID and Why Does It Matter?
When you connect a WordPress site to Search Atlas, the plugin stores a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) that links your WordPress site to your specific Search Atlas account. If you want to connect a different website, you must remove this UUID from the plugin — otherwise the old connection remains active and your new site may not link correctly.
⚠️ Before You Begin
- Make sure you have Administrator access to the WordPress site you are disconnecting.
- Export or save any data from Search Atlas that you want to keep before removing the website from your account.
- Have your new website URL ready to add after the process is complete.
🪜 What the Process Involves
Switching websites in the Search Atlas WordPress plugin requires two main actions:
- Removing the existing website from your Search Atlas account on the platform side.
- Clearing the UUID stored in your Search Atlas WordPress plugin on the old site, so the plugin is no longer linked to your account.
Once both steps are complete, you can connect your new website to Search Atlas and set up the plugin on the new site. Because the exact steps within the platform and plugin depend on your account configuration, our support team will guide you through each action to ensure the switch is completed correctly.
