🔍 What's Happening
If your OTTO fixes show as Deployed in the dashboard but are not visible in your page source or SEO extensions, the most common cause is that the OTTO WordPress plugin is deactivated on your site.
OTTO uses a WordPress plugin to render its SEO optimizations as a real-time overlay. When the plugin is inactive, deployments are recorded in OTTO but nothing is applied to the live site.
✅ How to Fix It
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel (typically at
yourdomain.com/wp-admin). - Navigate to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
- Locate the OTTO SEO plugin.
- If it shows as Inactive, click Activate.
- Reload your live site and confirm your deployed fixes now appear.
⚠️ Why Does This Happen?
The OTTO plugin can be deactivated unintentionally during WordPress updates, theme changes, or routine maintenance. Periodically verify the plugin is active, especially after WordPress environment updates.
