🔍 Overview

If your OTTO SEO suggestions are not deploying to your WordPress site, or if the Atlas playbook returns a 403 or 400 error during preview, this article explains what may be happening and what to have ready when you contact our team for assistance.

⚙️ What May Be Causing This

OTTO deployment and playbook preview errors on WordPress trial sites can stem from a number of underlying causes, including plugin connectivity issues, caching conflicts, or an incomplete site authorisation. Because these errors often require backend investigation to diagnose correctly, our support team will need to look into the specifics of your setup directly.

📋 What to Have Ready When You Escalate

To help our team resolve your issue as quickly as possible, please gather the following before reaching out:

  • The exact error message you are seeing (e.g., 403 Forbidden, 400 Bad Request, or any other on-screen text).
  • The name of your WordPress project or trial site as it appears in Search Atlas.
  • The timestamp of when the error first occurred or the most recent occurrence.
  • A brief description of the action you were taking when the error appeared (e.g., running a playbook preview, deploying suggestions, scanning the site).
  • Any caching or third-party plugins you have active on the WordPress site (e.g., WP Rocket, Google Tag Manager).
  • Screenshots of the error if available.

Having this information ready will allow our team to investigate your specific configuration without delays.
