# **🛠️ How to Remove OTTO-Injected Body Text from Your Website Footer**

If unexpected text is appearing below your website footer on every page, it is likely being pushed by content entered in the **Miscellaneous → Body Text** field inside your OTTO project. Follow the three steps below to stop the injection and permanently remove the text.

⚠️ **Version note:** These steps apply to **OTTO V3**, the current default version. If your account shows a legacy OTTO V2 interface, contact Search Atlas support for assisted migration before proceeding.

# **🔴 Step 1: Disengage OTTO**

Go to **Search Atlas → OTTO SEO** and open your site's OTTO project. If you cannot locate it by name, navigate directly to the **OTTO Tasks Dashboard**.

▶️ Click **Disengage OTTO** to pause all active content injections.

🔍 If your project does not appear by site name, use the OTTO Tasks Dashboard and filter or scroll to locate the correct project.

👥 If you manage multiple sites, ensure you are looking under the correct workspace.

⚠️ **Important warning:** Disengaging OTTO pauses **all** OTTO-managed optimisations across your site — including title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, and more — not just the body text injection. Proceed only if you are ready to temporarily remove all active OTTO deployments, or if you plan to re-engage OTTO after completing Step 3.

✅ Once disengaged, OTTO stops delivering content to your pages. New visitors will stop seeing the injected text as soon as your cache is cleared in Step 2.

# **🗑️ Step 2: Clear Your Site Cache**

Clearing your cache ensures the change takes effect immediately for all visitors. Use the method that matches your setup:

🔌 **WordPress caching plugin (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache):** Open the plugin settings and click **Clear Cache**.

☁️ **Cloudflare:** Go to **Caching → Configuration** and select **Purge Everything**.

🖥️ **Hosting-level cache:** Contact your hosting provider or use their control panel to flush the server cache.

✅ After clearing the cache, reload a page on your site and scroll to the bottom to confirm whether the injected text has disappeared. If it is gone, proceed to Step 3 to ensure it cannot return.

# **✏️ Step 3: Delete the Body Text from the Miscellaneous Tab**

Return to your OTTO project inside Search Atlas. Click the **Miscellaneous** tab in the left-hand navigation panel.

🔎 Locate the **Body Text** field and **delete all content** entered there.

💾 Save your changes.

🔄 You may now safely **re-engage OTTO** if desired. All other optimisations — title tags, meta descriptions, schema, and more — will continue to apply. Only the deleted body text will be gone, preventing the injection from reappearing if OTTO is re-engaged in the future.

# **✅ Verifying the Fix**

Visit several pages on your site and scroll to the bottom of each page. The injected text should no longer appear below the footer.

🚨 If the content is still visible after clearing your cache, contact **Search Atlas support**. A specialist can confirm whether the deployment rollback has been applied on the server side and push an additional correction if needed.

🌀 **Website Studio users:** If your site was built in Search Atlas Website Studio and the text persists even after following all three steps, a known issue (LPS-984) may require engineering intervention. Contact support directly for assistance.
