What Happens When You Unpublish a Wix Website?

Last updated on January 6, 2023 @ 8:36 am

It’s important to know what happens when you unpublish a Wix website. After all, unpublishing is a big decision that should not be taken lightly. When you unpublish your site, it will no longer be visible to the public.

Your live site will be replaced with a message saying that the site is no longer available. All of your content will still be stored on Wix’s servers, but it will not be accessible to anyone except for you and Wix employees.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

So why would someone want to unpublish their Wix website? There are a few reasons.

Maybe you created a website for a temporary event and now that the event is over, there’s no need for the site anymore. Or maybe you’re not happy with your site and you want to start from scratch. Whatever the reason, unpublishing your Wix website is easy to do and it’s completely reversible if you change your mind.

PRO TIP: If you unpublish your Wix website, it will no longer be visible online and people will not be able to access it. Your website will still be available on the Wix platform, but you will need to republish it in order to make it live again.

If you’re sure that you want to unpublish your Wix website, here’s how to do it:

  1. Log in to your Wix account and go to your Dashboard.
  2. Click on the site that you want to unpublish.
  3. Click on Manage Site.
  4. Click on Settings.
  5. Click on General.
  6. Under Status, click on Unpublish.

That’s all there is to it! Once you’ve unpublished your Wix website, it will no longer be visible to anyone except for you. If you decide that you want to publish your site again, just follow the same steps and click on Publish instead of Unpublish.
