How to Reset AI Parameters to Factory Defaults After Installation

To reset AI parameters to factory defaults after installation, open the SeaText Main AI Hub, select the page you want to reset, and open Configuration. Use the reset option if your dashboard shows one, or manually restore each parameter to its starting value. Do this only after the SeaText script is installed and the AI is activated and linked to your account.

SeaText’s own integration steps treat activation as a separate stage. The script is secure and the AI remains inert until it is activated. So a reset mostly matters after you have changed something: a headline, a CTA, a translation, a variant, or an agent setting.

What “factory defaults” means here

In SeaText, the parameters you can adjust live in Configuration inside the Main AI Hub. They control how agents rewrite the page, which variants are visible, and which translations are active. “Factory defaults” means the state of those settings before you changed them.

The General Integration guide does not promise a universal one-click reset button. Some dashboards provide one; others expect you to set values back manually. Start by checking Configuration, then use the manual route if you need to. If you skip a reset, edited variants and agent settings can stay active, so the page can keep showing copy you meant to replace.

Before you reset: check these three things

Do not reset while the site is still connecting. A reset on a disconnected account can look successful and then change nothing.

1. The script is installed

You need a SeaText AI account before you can install the script. Copy the JavaScript code provided by SeaText and add it to your pages. On WP Engine, install the WP Engine plugin that lets you add custom JavaScript, then apply it across all your pages.

2. The AI is activated

Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. That activates the AI and links it to your account.

3. The site shows as connected

Wait at least five minutes. You should see your website name next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the SeaText page. If you do not see it after 10 minutes, contact support before you reset anything.

Step-by-step: reset AI parameters to factory defaults

1. Log in to your SeaText AI account.
2. Go to the Main AI Hub.
3. Select the page whose parameters you want to reset. If you run several pages with agents, repeat the process for each page.
4. Click Configuration.
5. Look for a Reset to Defaults or Restore Defaults option. If it exists, choose it and confirm.
6. If no one-click reset is available, go through each parameter and return it to its initial value. Use Variants Edit in the left panel to review, create, or manually edit the translations and variants that were changed.
7. Save your changes.
8. Refresh or visit the page to confirm the old settings are gone.

Manual reset is slower but just as valid. It also gives you a chance to delete or disable variants you no longer want.

How to verify the reset worked

Start with the connection check. The website name should appear next to the SEATEXT logo at the top of the SeaText dashboard. If the site is not connected, the reset will not hold.

Next, open Configuration again and compare each value with what you expect as the default. Then visit or refresh the page several times and stay for at least 40 seconds. If the old headline, CTA, or translation still appears, check Variants Edit. The reset may restore parameters without removing previously generated variants.

Common mistakes that break a reset

• Resetting before activation. The AI remains inert until activated, so there is nothing to reset yet.
• Using one account on multiple domains. Each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. For a development domain and a production domain, create separate accounts.
• Testing on localhost. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid real domain.
• Forgetting the connection wait. Give the system at least five minutes to show your website name. If it does not appear after 10 minutes, contact support.
• Assuming reset deletes variants. Configuration controls parameters. Variants Edit is where translations and alternate versions are managed.

Key facts from the SeaText integration guide

Limitations and when a reset is not the right fix

A parameter reset fixes settings, not connection problems. If the website name never appears next to the SEATEXT logo, the issue is installation or activation, not Configuration. Resetting parameters will not make the script connect.

The one-account-per-domain rule also limits what a reset can do. You cannot reset a development domain and a production domain from the same account. And if you have not activated the AI yet, you are already at a default state; no reset is needed.

If your goal is to remove all custom translations and variants, a parameter reset alone may not be enough. You also need to clean up in Variants Edit.

Terms you may see in Configuration

• Main AI Hub: the dashboard where you activate AI on your preferred pages.
• Configuration: the section where you adjust AI parameters.
• Variants: alternate versions of translations and copy that SeaText creates for testing.
• Variants Edit: the left-panel area where you review or manually edit variants.
• Activation: the step that links the installed script to your account.

FAQ

Is there a one-click reset in SeaText?

The official guide points to Configuration to adjust parameters. It does not describe a universal reset button. Open Configuration and look for a reset action. If you do not see one, restore the values manually.

When is the right time to reset after installation?

After the script is installed, after you visit or refresh the page and stay for 40 seconds, and after the website name appears next to the SEATEXT logo. Reset after these checks, not before.

Will a reset delete my translated variants?

Not automatically. Configuration controls parameters; Variants Edit is where translations and variants are reviewed and edited. If you want a completely clean set, remove or edit them there.

Can I reset one page without affecting the rest of the site?

Yes, if you select that page in the Main AI Hub and adjust its Configuration. For multi-domain setups, each domain needs its own account.

What should I do if the website name does not appear after 10 minutes?

Contact SeaText support. The integration guide says this could indicate an installation issue on your platform, and you may need assistance.

Why can’t I use localhost to test the reset?

Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid real domain because dynamic development domains may not work reliably.
