HOW TO UNPUBLISH A WIX SITE
How to Unpublish a Wix Site Without Losing Your Work
So, you have a Wix website, but for whatever reason, maybe a redesign, a break, or just a change of heart, you don’t want it to be visible to the public anymore. The good news is that you don’t have to delete your site permanently. Instead, you can unpublish it, which takes it offline while keeping all your content saved for future use. Here’s how to do it.
How to Unpublish Your Wix Site
Unpublishing a Wix site is quick and easy. First, log in to your Wix account and go to your Dashboard. From there, click on Settings in the left-hand menu. Scroll down to the Website Settings section, and you’ll see an option that says Unpublish Site. Click it, confirm your choice, and just like that, your website is no longer live.
What Happens After You Unpublish?
When you unpublish your Wix site, it disappears from the internet, meaning no one will be able to access it. However, all your content, pages, images, and settings, remains saved in your Wix account. You can republish your site at any time by going back to your Dashboard and clicking Publish again.
Will Unpublishing Cancel My Wix Subscription?
No, unpublishing your site does not cancel your Wix premium plan or domain subscription. If you’re paying for a premium plan, you’ll still be charged unless you manually cancel it. If you no longer need your domain name or paid plan, go to Billing & Payments in your Wix settings and cancel or transfer them as needed.
Alternative: Set Up a "Coming Soon" Page
If you don’t want to fully unpublish your site but still need to hide certain pages, you can create a “Coming Soon” or “Under Construction” page. Simply set this as your homepage and hide the rest of your pages from search engines and navigation. This way, visitors won’t see your unfinished website, but you won’t have to take it offline completely.
Final Thoughts
Unpublishing your Wix site is a straightforward way to take it offline without losing all your work. Whether you’re revamping your site or taking a break, Wix makes it easy to hide your website and bring it back when you’re ready. Just remember that your subscription stays active unless you cancel it separately.
