How to launch your website in WordPress.

 

Step 1: Find the “Launch your site” button.

When you are ready to launch your website, you can do so my clicking on the Bluehost Plug-in on your WordPress sidebar menu.

You will then be directed to this page where you will see the “Launch your site” button.

Once you are ready to launch your site, you can click this button and it will push your pages live on the internet.

 

Step 2: Your site is now live!

Your site will then be live and you will see this at the top of the page.

 

Step 3: Change your mind?

If for whatever reason you launch your site live and you would like to switch it back to the “coming soon!” page, don’t worry, you can still do so by clicking on “Cache Settings” under the Caching menu item at the top of the page.

 

Step 4: Change your coming soon page.

You will then scroll all the way to the bottom of the page where you will see “Bluehost Coming Soon Page”. You will see an option to Enable “on” or “off.

If you would like to Enable this coming soon page back on just click “on” and save! And to remove this, revisit this page and switch it to “off” and save and your page will be live again!

And there you go! Your website is now launched in WordPress.
