How to Activate SeaText AI on Specific Pages in WordPress

Install the SeaText JavaScript snippet site-wide in WordPress, then use the Main AI Hub to enable agents only on the URLs you choose. The AI stays inert until you activate it on a page,...

Direct answer: activate by URL in the Main AI Hub

You activate SeaText AI on specific WordPress pages by installing the JavaScript snippet across your whole site, then choosing which pages to enable in the Main AI Hub. The script is inert until you activate an agent on a page, so installing it everywhere does not change your content by itself.

After installation, you go to the Main AI Hub, select the pages you want, and turn on the agents for those URLs. You can also click "Configuration" to adjust how the AI behaves on each page.

Prerequisites before you start

  • A SeaText AI account. Each account is linked to one primary domain.
  • Access to your WordPress admin area, or a way to add custom JavaScript.
  • A valid, real domain. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted.

If you use WP Engine, download the WP Engine plugin that lets you add custom JavaScript to your pages. Install it and apply it across all your pages.

Step 1: Copy the SeaText JavaScript code

Log in to your SeaText account and find the JavaScript code in the General Integration section. Copy the full snippet. This is the same code for every page on your site.

Step 2: Add the snippet to WordPress site-wide

You need the snippet to load on every page, even pages where you will not activate the AI. This lets SeaText associate traffic with your account and gives you full control later.

Common ways to add it in WordPress:

  • Use a header and footer script plugin, such as WPCode or Insert Headers and Footers.
  • Add the code to your theme's header.php file before the closing tag. Use a child theme so updates do not remove it.
  • If you use WP Engine, install their custom JavaScript plugin and paste the snippet there.

Do not add the snippet only to pages you plan to activate. SeaText needs to see the script across the site to connect your domain to your account.

Step 3: Visit your site to link the account

After adding the snippet, visit or refresh your website several times. Stay on a page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to your account.

Wait at least five minutes. Your website name should appear next to the SeaText logo at the top of the dashboard. If it does not appear after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support.

Step 4: Choose specific pages in the Main AI Hub

Open the Main AI Hub in your SeaText dashboard. You will see your website listed once the connection is confirmed. From there, you can activate the AI on your preferred pages.

Select the URLs where you want the AI to run. Leave other pages inactive. The AI remains inert on pages you do not enable, so your existing content stays untouched there.

Step 5: Configure the agents for each page

Click "Configuration" next to a page to adjust the AI parameters. You can choose which agents run on that page and how aggressive the changes should be. For example, you might enable the CRO Optimizer on a pricing page but leave a legal page inactive.

SeaText provides an initial round of automatic translations and variants for testing. You can review or edit them under "Variants Edit" in the left panel. Select the URL and language you want to edit.

Step 6: Verify activation on the right pages

Open a page where you activated an agent. Check that the AI version appears. Then open a page where you did not activate anything. It should show your original content with no AI changes.

If the AI is not active on a page you enabled, refresh the page and wait a few minutes. If it still does not work, confirm the snippet is present in the page source and that your domain is linked in the dashboard.

Common mistake: activating before the site is linked

A frequent error is trying to activate pages before the website name appears in the dashboard. If the domain is not linked, the Main AI Hub cannot apply your page selections. Complete the visit-and-wait step first, then activate pages.

How page-level activation works

SeaText uses a site-wide JavaScript snippet that stays dormant until you enable an agent for a specific URL. The Main AI Hub is the control layer. You pick the pages, and the AI only rewrites or translates content on those URLs.

This is different from a plugin that changes every page automatically. You keep full control over which pages get AI treatment.

Limitations and when this advice does not apply

This process works for a standard WordPress site where you can add a site-wide script. If your WordPress setup blocks custom JavaScript, or if you cannot install a header/footer plugin, you may need help from a developer or your hosting provider.

SeaText does not support localhost or dynamic development domains reliably. Use a real domain for testing. If you need SeaText on multiple domains, create a separate account for each one.

Page-level activation is not the same as visitor-level targeting. You choose which pages get AI, not which visitors see it. For visitor-specific changes, you would need a different agent or configuration.

Terminology

  • Main AI Hub: the dashboard area where you activate agents on specific pages.
  • Inert: the script is present but does not change content until you activate it.
  • Variants Edit: the panel where you review and edit AI-generated translations or versions.

FAQ

Do I need to install the SeaText plugin on every page?

No. You install the JavaScript snippet once, site-wide. Activation is handled per page in the Main AI Hub.

Can I activate SeaText AI on just one WordPress page?

Yes. Install the snippet across the site, then enable agents only for that one URL in the Main AI Hub.

Why is my website name not showing in the dashboard?

Visit or refresh your site several times and stay on a page for at least 40 seconds. Wait five minutes. If it still does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support.

Does the AI change pages I did not activate?

No. The AI remains inert on pages you do not enable. Only the URLs you select in the Main AI Hub are affected.

Can I use SeaText on a staging or local WordPress site?

Development URLs such as localhost are restricted. Use a valid, real domain. Dynamic development domains may not work reliably.

What if I use WP Engine?

Download the WP Engine plugin for custom JavaScript, install it, and apply the SeaText snippet across all your pages.

How do I edit what the AI wrote on a specific page?

Go to "Variants Edit" in the left panel, select the URL and language, and review or manually edit the translations and variants.
